Thoughts on this diamond from James Allen?

[nopa]

First time poster here and complete newbie. I'm in the market for a round solitaire. I've done some research, lurked these forums etc. and I've come across this diamond from JA.

Based on my limited knowledge, the price seems decent for the specs. Scores 1.6 on the HCA and JA online rep says its eye clean. Anything that I should be concerned about regarding this stone? All comments and recommendations appreciated. Thanks

Edit: Price is $6,570

Update, I requested ideal scope images for the diamond in the OP and another diamond I was looking at. Now trying to decide between the two, and I think I'm leaning towards the second one (1.01, G, SI1). Your thoughts? I'm planning to mount the stone in a six prong solitaire.

I prefer the .96, the scope image looks amazing. That would be my pick for sure!

I prefer the IS on the .96, it looks a little better organized to me, but the 1.01 is bigger and the light return looks fine also. (Wish I knew what the bits of wonkiness next to some of the arrows was though...)

Still a fan of the .96...

There seems to be a consensus; .96 it is.
