Asscher Confusion!

I love reading the posts in this forum and have learned so much! Now I could really use some help. My husband and I are buying an "upgraded" ring for our 25th anniversary, and I have foolishly fallen in love with the Asscher cut. I'm working with a local business/designer that I'd like to support but I'm a little worried they don't know much about Asscherst. They've sent me videos of two diamonds— I'm not sure it's going to be possible to see an ASET images of them, however. Nor will I be able to see them in person before purchase. I'd be very grateful for feedback on the diamonds they've provided video for (see attached GIFs).
For context, I don't need the most exquisite diamond in the world. I just want something without significant light leakage or asymmetry— something with a bit of life to it.
Here are the diamonds they've suggested:

Option 1:

Report Number LG696559263
Description LABORATORY GROWN DIAMOND
Shape and Cutting Style SQUARE EMERALD CUT
Measurements 8.16 X 8.03 X 4.93 MM
Carat Weight 3.02 CARATS
Color Grade E
Clarity Grade VVS 2
Polish EXCELLENT
Symmetry EXCELLENT
Fluorescence NONE
Depth: 61.4%
Table: 64%
Girdle: Medium to Slightly Thick
Cutlet: Pointed

Option 2:

Report Number LG694508080
Description LABORATORY GROWN DIAMOND
Shape and Cutting Style SQUARE EMERALD CUT
Measurements 7.83 X 7.79 X 5.39 MM
Carat Weight 3.02 CARATS
Color Grade E
Clarity Grade VS 1
Polish EXCELLENT

Fluorescence NONE
Depth: 69.2%
Table: 65%
Girdle: Slightly Thick

I am deeply grateful for any help. Am beginning to regret choosing such a fussy cut!

Best wishes,
Jen

The one on the right looks better to my eye
 
I find the same, the right one looks more balanced.

Thanks for weighing it. Sounds like I can return the stone if I don't like it, so I've gone ahead and ordered it. I hope it's pretty!
