I'd like to send him 3-4 stones that are great for the price [best bang for the buck! ] and let him choose.

You've got your numbering all off. My numbers are associated with the order of the stones...not your numbers. Hope that makes
since.
1) no, too dark though the center
2) no, dark X and everything else seems leaky...just not that attractive IMO
3) ? a little leaky under the table and not sure if this is eye-clean for younger eyes (I think you can find better)
4) I like the cut on this one but it is a K. If K is ok...then I like it.
5) its a little leaky under the table so ? (you can probably do better)
6) leaky in the center
7) probably my favorite of the group

Have you tried looking at adimor?

Of course, pay attention to the LxW (so you know which stones are bigger)

Rounds usually do appear bigger because they are not as deep however, they are more expensive.
