...and in quite a few cases, even with pictures, the question is which one do you like better, not which one we think is better

Unfortunately, I don't have pics. The diamonds are listed online, and I'm just going by GIA reports.

Then ask the vendor to give you pictures... and/or help in choosing!

Not trying to be unpleasant - just pointing out that no-one can help you without more information than what you have on the report, and that involves being able to see (and measure, and photograph) the diamond. The only ones who can are the vendors.

Again - not trying to be unpleasant, but one small scale low res photograph of one of the two diamonds is not enough. I can barely see that it's a radiant, but nothing other than that.

This is the sort of photo that can help you (and us) to choose:
