Sorry for all these questions....almost ready to make the decision and want to be sure about everything...

With regards to size, all else being equal, would one ever be able to notice the difference between a 1.1 carat stone and a 1.2 carat stone? Enough to spend an extra $1k?
Can the typical human eye pick out a difference of 0.3 mm of difference in width (6.0 vs. 5.7, for example)?
 
Almost no-one will see the difference of ten points without a scale or leveridge gauge on a one carat-class stone. Keep the cash if all else is equal.
 
My DH and I are shopping for an upgrade right now. I currently have a .80 center and we looked at a 1.0 and there was no difference at all. We only noticed a difference when the stones got to be 1.2 or larger. I''d save the $$.

The human eye will with no doubt notice the difference between a 6.0mm. and a 5.7mm.
