In a linked question, I've never seen a modern antique cut (CER or AVR) in person before. If they're cut for better light return that OECs (amongst other things), do they favour more white light return at the expense of the pastels you see in OECs? Or do they achieve more symmetry etc without losing that characteristic? Sorry for the slight hijack,OP, but I've wondered for a while and it seemed part of the same question in a way.
