Wow, you picked out some winners because all five of them are amazingly proportioned and have near perfect advanced images.

Option #5 and #2 would be by personal frontrunners, due to the 35° crown angle along with the thicker arrows from the 75-76% LGF.

 

[DreamPlan]

What difference does the 75-76% and 35 crown make?
Also, between 2 and 5, does the ASET image or idealscope show anything different? From what I've been reading, I should be looking at the redness and the contrast with the black/white. Does brightness of red vs maroon matter?

A steeper crown angle around 35° with a taller crown height 15-16% when paired with a 40.6-40.8° pavilion angle is usually regarded as a recipe for a bit more fire.

The 75-76% LGF will give the appearance of thicker/wider arrows patterning.

It's strictly my personal preference.

Here are the Ideal Scope reference charts:

All of these look great. I'd say my least favorite is #1, but I really like all of the others.

Another consideration (since all of these look nice) would be the vendor. I know some of these are from CBI and WF, both of which are amazing and have great upgrade policies. So for me the vendor would help me narrow down between great choices.

That WolfCBI F VS1 is a personal favorite of mine. I’ve been visiting it on the website for a few weeks, lol! Unfortunately my upgrade budget won’t stretch that far right now.

Between option 2 and 5, is does the AGS report inclusion markings make a difference? Also, I found two others that I would consider, any suggestions on those?


Option 2 (9.8k):

Option 5 (10.6k):

Option 6 (10.2k):

Option 7:

Option 2, 5 or 7. I like the size of # 7. You have some great diamonds to choose from. Good luck

 

[Dancing Fire]

Option #5.

 

[rockysalamander]

Wf and WolfCBI may be able to pull your top choices from their stock and each put them in a side by side video lineup. Sometimes your eyes or theirs can settle things for you.

Between these three diamonds, is there anything particular that stands out:

Just going off of specs alone:

I'm a sucker for a slightly steeper crown angle paired with shorter LGF, so I would pick the 1.081 F VS1 with the 56.5/35.0/40.7 combo and 75% lowers.

WolfCBI would be my second pick.

That particular BGD has 48% star facets, so I would try to find one that has them in the 50-55% range...but this is clearly just me nitpicking.

Is there any concern about this idealscope:





I've been trying to learn to read these, but is the greenish in between the black arrows leakage?

That's an ASET Image, not IdealScope. Leakage will show up as white.
It looks great!

That's a spectacular ASET. I would have a hard time believing that is anything but a microscopic tilt white taking the photo, or a microscopic asymmetry that your eye will never see
