This is an awesome forum, can''t believe the wealth of imformation I have gained.
However, my fiancee and I are in process of deciding on a diamond and urgently need some advice on which stone would be better to buy.
What confuses me is tht the non branded diamond scores higher on the HCA and AGA DIY. I know that there are arguements that say that H&A do not necessarily dictate better light return, fire and scintillation, but can I simply rely on the HCA and AGA to help me decide the the #1 will be more brilliant? What do you think of the pricing?

Any advice/comments would be greatly welcomed!! Kindof under time pressure as well....
