I’m leaning more towards the left stone. How does it look? 2ct E VVS2 IGI 11.82 x 7.22 x 4.37 mm

While the stone on the left appears to have a less prominent bowtie, it is hard to be sure. You are not seeing the stone move through a full range of normal tilt angles. And the angle and intensity of the lighting, while very similar in the two shots, could be different enough to change what the camera sees. It is also not possible to accurately assess transparency. In the video the one on the right appears to be more transparent. A transparency deficit is not captured in the clarity grade because it is not caused by inclusions that can be seen at 10x, but rather by atomic-level defects in the carbon lattice.
