Would like help deciding between 2 stones

[travel77]

I could use some help picking between 2 stones. I've currently got Option 1 reserved, they are pulling the stone so I can see if the twining wisps impact the brilliance. But while I wait for them to pull it, I've been looking around and found option 2. It appears to me that option 2 is a better value, but I'm concerned about the color (J). Can anyone give me any insight between the two stones?

Option 1: $7280

The size is nice on Option 1 but the way I see it, you gain clarity and a slightly brighter face up diamond in Option 2 - while saving a decent chunk of change. I don't think a shift from I to J colour is enough to factor in too heavily.

I like option 2.

I would ask JA to give you their opinion on the two selected stones. You will see some difference between the I and J color - it bothers some while others not so much.
