I was going through a similar dilemna, and came down from an F to an I. You can see a little bit of a difference with the loose stone, but I was willing to sacrifice color for carats.
My personal priority in selecting the diamond:
1. AGS Ideal cut (or GIA Excellent), with between a .5 and 1.5 on the HCA
2. After that, I went for the biggest carat size I could find as long as it:
3. Was at least an I (better cut stones, especiall round brilliants wont show the color as much as a poorly cut stone)
4. Eye-clean clarity (I''m not going to pay more for something I cant see with my eyes)
