expert opinion on color

[djohnson]

I just ordered a round whiteflash ACA .89 H SI1 for 4270.00

Bluenile has a J 1.17 SI1. The specs and dimensions of this diamond meet all of the criteria to be a whiteflash ACA. Yes I did the homework. This diamond scores a 1.5 on the HCA and is a 1A on the AGA/NAJA cut class. It is also GIA EX EX EX. It is substantially bigger but the problem or potential problem is the color and this diamond is also 700.00 more. Anyone have experience with GIA J color? Does it seem worth it?

Thanks for help.

I saw a few J's today, one was almost an I and the other 2 were mid J's. This is a really tricky area cause I preferred the J that was closer to I, in regular home lighting conditions it appeared whiter. But I was really being critical. They all sparkled a ton and I'm not super color sensitive but I'd like to find an I or a high J. All are in the near colorless range and if you have a great cut (like you've found) they appear still very white in most lighting conditions. I'd go for the big size difference.
