The first two diamonds are the same, so I’m not sure if you meant to link separate ones.

The 1.50 H VS2 and 1.42 H VS1 from BN both show strain lines (especially the 1.42 H VS1).  Those are those faint lines you see on the facets.  So I’d choose between the 1.53 H VS2 or the 1.4 E VS2.  I’d probably lean towards the 1.53 H VS2.  It saves money and I think 1.5ct resonates more than a jump in color from H to E.

Thank you!
I have one more I found that I’m interested in. Let me know your thoughts vs the 1.53 above.

I should add that I thought the one I just posted had great cut based on your cut estimator.

Looks good. The exact same diamond is also listed on JA to make the photography comparison easier vs. the 1.53. It’s $60 cheaper than BN.

I think it comes down to whether you want to hit 1.5ct for $900 more. If that’s not important, then save your money.
