How Much Different is AGS Excellent Cut than AGS Ideal Cut?

[LovePuppy7]

Hello everyone
I've been searching for a diamond for e-ring, and I've come across these two stones on Whiteflash.

#1: A Cut Above 0.604 ct, H, VS2, AGS Ideal Cut (Triple 0)
#2: Premium Select 0.617 ct, G, VS2, AGS Excellent Cut

They both look beautiful and it's hard to tell the difference online. I've been told that the cut is the most important thing in 4C's, so I'm wondering how much different is AGS Excellent than AGS Ideal. Which diamond is better?
Thanks!

The excellent cut was dinged for its polish. It is still a ideal light performance.

My daughter's e-ring is premium select for the same reason, and it was an excellent buy! You cannot see the difference between ex and ideal polish, so these stones can be a great value!!! I also have ACA earrings and they are gorgeous, of course!
