hello all I was wondering in your opinion what diamond is a better deal. Both diamonds are usa LosAngelos EGL certified

EGL si2, 2.02ct H color very good cut princess, this diamond is close to looking eye clean but there is a noticable carbon black spot on the lower part of the diamond it's small but you can definatly see it if you look at the diamond. This diamond is 6,600

the other is:

EGL si3, 2.16ct E color very good cut princess, this diamond looks good to the eye because the cut seems to hide obvious occlusions but I do see a couple feathers if I look closely. This diamond is 7,000

In your opinion what is a better deal? Does a strong carbon spot like a feather occlusion does?

Thanks so much!!

We can't really tell you anything without pictures/images of princess cuts (fancy shape).

Just from the little bit of info you gave us, I would prefer the stone where you couldnt see a black carbon spot but there
are things like the cut/faceting pattern that could easily overrule that.

Got any pictures?

No pics, they are both princess cut, thanks so much for responding and giving me your opinion. yeah, when I looked at that diamond my eyes always gravitate toward the black carbon spot. Even a small noticable spot can really ruin things.
