The JA stone is just slightly more of a gamble because it doesn't have all that information online guaranteeing its cut quality. But you've done your homework and the ASET looks good. In fact, the two ASETs look pretty similar to me...I think the JA one is tilted a bit, rather than having more leakage to the left of the table. The main issue for me with the GOG stone is the clarity. Not all SI1s are eye-clean, so check if it is. If not, that would be a dealbreaker.
So here's how I see it...
Pros of the JA diamond: Larger, higher clarity, I'm assuming cheaper(?)
Pros of the GOG diamond: Hand-picked by Jon for beauty, higher color, slightly nicer ASET, more info available online, AGS ideal cut, better upgrade policy
Since the size difference is pretty small, I'd probably pick the GOG stone. Things that would sway me toward the JA stone would be price (if there's a large difference) or if the GOG stone isn't eye-clean.
