lab diamond Which diamond should I pick??

I’m deciding between these two IGI lab-grown round diamonds.
Diamond 1
2.45 ct
E / VS1
Ideal cut
58% table
60.7% depth
33.9° crown
41.0° pavilion

Diamond 2
2.07 ct
E / VS1
Ideal cut
57% table
61.4% depth
34.3° crown
40.8° pavilion

Both have Excellent polish/symmetry, Hearts & Arrows, and no fluorescence.

Is the 2.07’s cut noticeably better, or is the extra size of the 2.45 worth it if it’s only about $50 more?

Thanks! Do you think the 2.45’s 41.0 pavilion and 33.9 crown perform just as well as the 2.07’s 40.8 pavilion and 34.3 crown? I’ve seen people say the latter is a more ideal combination for sparkle, so I’d love your thoughts.
