Looking to buy my first LGD 2.8-3.0 carat round H&A. I've narrowed down to these two but I really don't know if I'm missing something when looking at all the details. Any input would be greatly appreciated (pricing, proportions, cut, blue nuance, etc.) There is a signifiant price difference between IGI and GCAL it seems. Thank you!

Option 1 - IGI Certificate
F Color, VVS2, $1,174

I prefer the first one. The second one has blue nuance.

Thank you for the quick response! Would you say overall it’s a good pick or should I keep looking?
 
I realized I should have been more clear. Is the first option a good pick overall or should I keep looking? Thank you! First timer so still figuring all of this out.
