Fancy cuts usually need to be judged by video rather than specs and images alone. Can you put it on hold and link to the stone?
 
Yep, need the link to the video to see how the facets work.

Whiteflash has Super Ideal princess cut stones. Not sure what your budget is but...


You can see from the video that it performs. AGS000 with Ideal Light return...Branded stone.
 
The GIA does not specify "Ideal" on Princess cut diamonds. The polish and symmetry are "excellent", but the standards a seller uses to declare a diamond "ideal" are not necessarily those used by the once AGSL. Many times, sellers who are offering GIA graded diamonds stretch the meaning of ideal. Don't assume all ideal cut diamonds are equivalent to one another unless you can see the exact standards in writing to make comparisons. Even then, there is still wiggle room that might remain that will allow stones to still not be totally equal in light return and behavior.
