I previously overlooked fluorescence in my picks but now see the difference.. The suggestion was to consider:

Aside from the difference in price, how would you rank 5 vs 1-4 and what is your opinion on 1-4?
I am looking for diamond around 1.2 carats.. E, VS1 and above.. Willing to pay up to 12k but trying to find the best deal for the value..
Any other suggestions are welcome
Thank you in advance
Compare the relative colors of these diamonds by turning them to side view. As mentioned in your other thread, the 1.25 E VS1 is a relatively weak E. So is the 1.30 E VS1. So of this new batch, I would go with the 1.21 D VVS2. It’s the same price as the 1.20 E VVS2, but goes up a color grade.
I might still prefer the 1.20 E VS1 over the 1.21 D VVS2 because it’s a better relative value. It’s $1500 cheaper and satisfies all of your criteria, so I don’t see a reason to spend more.
