Would you rather have 1.6 G VS2 or 1.75 I VS2??

I picked the 'I' because I'm a size queen and because I have no problem with 'I' colored stones. I have one and it's totally icy. AND I would be swayed by the better cut quality...which in some cases can make the diamond appear even larger.

 

[looking for ideas]

put the two stones next to each other and see which one you like better. Don''t go solely on just the papers, I have seen many beautiful I colored stones. good luck!

thanks everyone for your comments- i really appreciate your input! i have to admit that i''m even more confused now though- ha!

i guess i''ll have to let my eyes do the deciding and should have a decision made tomorrow.
For thsoe who are curious, here are the specs on the diamonds: (as fyi, i have 3.5 ring finger size so a .15 difference should be fairly considerable although 1.6ct should be plenty big!)

#1
GIA excellent cut- ex symmetry and polish (falls within AGS ideal parameters for table, angles, etc.)
G color
1.6 ct
table: 53.8%
diameter: 61.9%
crown: 34.5
pavilion: 40.6
excellent symmetry and polish
.8 on HCA
this thing sparkles! (and IS looks great too)

#2
AGS 000
I color
1.75 ct
table: 55.7%
depth: 61.2%
crown: 34.2
pavilion: 40.7
