You snooze, you lose.

Hi all you diamond experts. I asked your opinion before, but I missed out because I dragged my feet. Now I would like to ask your opinions again.
Below are 5 Gcal certified Lab Diamonds. I notice differences in the fire, and wonder about the % of the star facets and the lower half pavilion length, table size and how it affects the overall appearance of the stone. We are splitting hairs here, but I would appreciate your comments none the less.
Please be so kind as to comment on these stones and tell me your preferences. Also....can you see any strain lines in any of these?
THANK YOU ALL!

You may wish to include links to the diamonds, not just the lab report numbers as some may consider the extra step of opening up a new tab, going to the GCAL website, and entering in the reports to look them up a couple steps too many.

Hi, 4Sophie!
My take: these are all so close in proportions and angles that any minute differences will be impossible to discern between them, even if they were all sitting side by side, five in a row.

Thanks DejaWiz! *Disclaimer: I am some people!

Alright, yeah, those are great matches, once they are "in real life" and not magnified a thousand times on a computer screen, any differences will be insignificant.

Thank you...I am a little technologically challenged ....sorry for the inconvenience.

I agree with the others, though--you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart.
