I would not buy one with an EGL lab report. The grades won't be correct. Especially if you are not seeing the diamond before you purchase it.

The cut grades and the carat weight concern me. I think that they may be hiding lots of weight in the girdle of the diamond to get it to weigh 1.50ct. I think you are paying a premium for the 1.50ct but are not seeing any increase in the size when looking from above. I think this stone is so much lower compared to the appraisal for a reason.
Hope this helps.
Max
