Ok - So for the past few weeks I have started to delve into this ring search. As I have said before, I am not really buying until Oct/Nov, but its never too early to start looking and seeing what is out there.
So in this time I have really had my heart set on a 3 stone engagemet ring with a .70-.75ish ct center princess. Something very similar to these: (JUST design, not these rings exactly)

Then I realized how important brilliance is to me and when I say me, to us (we think alike)and started to get turned on by beautiful round diamonds. So I was just looking through solitares on exceldiamonds.com when I saw this and really like it:

So with this ring, I could put another $1000+ of the setting from the 3 stone setting into my solitare diamond. This allows me to buy a .90-1.00ct round.
So ladies do you prefer the 3 stone idea where it will be 1.5ct total weight or the solitare with a total weight of 1.05-1.15?
Both are assuming very well cut center diamonds with G+ color and SI2+ clarity.
THANKS
