ANY INSIGHT WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

There are too many to compare. Narrow it down to two, and you''ll most likely get more responses.

If you would ever consider upgrading I would rule out Blue Nile. I don''t think they have an upgrade policy. Apart from that, I am not a round expert so I''ll leave the stone analysis to the pros! Good luck!

Off the bat I''d eliminate the one from Blue Nile. They don''t offer all the idealscope and other info that WF and GOG do. Plus WF and GOG have excellent trade-in policies whereas BN has none. I''ll try to look at the other 4 stones and come back.

 

[diamondseeker2006]

The two WF stones and the two GOG stones are all excellent. The deciding factor for me would be which is closest to VS2. Aside from the clarity, I''d choose the 1.08 WF stone simply because it is a tiny bit larger than the others. But I''d want to know if it is eyeclean from the top AND sides first. The other three stones are so close that it is hard to choose between them. All are fine.
