Help! Which diamond? Thanks!

Novice here. Could you provide guidance on these loose round diamonds. Be brutally honest!

1 or 4, based solely on the numbers.
Have you seen any of them or gotten advanced images to assess light return and symmetry?

Diamond Proportions

The physics of light-behavior within a diamond are reliably consistent, which means proportions measurements can be useful.

Thanks! I have not personally seen any of them yet, but here are the links with heavy magnification (same order as list). #4 was recommended, but for some reason it has a much lower cost/carat and that is throwing me off, perhaps it is the inclusion in the center.

Oh yeah, 1 and 4 definitely have the best optics in my opinion.
The inclusion is extremely tiny since the overall diameter of the diamond is 7.33mm, so it'll be nearly impossible to locate and see without the aid of magnification.
The price difference is because of GIA vs IGI lab.
Both look really good to my eyes!

I would go with stone 1 based on the numbers and the GIA certificate
