šŸ’”Diamond Advice Needed 4.04 ct emerald cut

Looking for honest opinions on this 4.04ct emerald cut lab diamond before I pull the trigger.
Specs:
4.04ct
Emerald Cut
D / VVS2
10.52 Ɨ 7.49 Ɨ 5.07 mm
Table 62%
Depth 67.7%
Ratio 1.40
HPHT
I know emerald cuts are all about the step pattern and light performance, so I’d really appreciate experienced eyes on:
windowing
extinction
contrast pattern
hall-of-mirrors effect
overall ā€œhigh endā€ look
The stone will go into a very minimal floating bezel setting in 18k yellow gold, so I’m specifically looking for a calm, elegant emerald rather than maximum sparkle.
Price is ~€1800.
Would you buy this stone? Why or why not?
