If you had a choice, would you choose a 2 carat asscher, or 2 carat round brilliant? We are currently ring shopping, and I am undecided as to which I prefer. I do know that we'll go with a solitaire setting. Let me know which one you would pick, and why ...
Asscher or round brilliant?

I'd go for the round. It has far greater light return and is much sparklier, whereas step-cuts like the asscher has more of a glow to it. Plus, the round faces up larger than an asscher, which carries more carat weight in the depth. And, it's a total classic and will be a total *headlight* as a solitaire! Just make sure it's ideal/excellent cut (the most important C!).
Don't get me wrong, I loooooove me a good asscher, but I'd save the 2-carat asscher for my 10-year wedding anniversary as a right hand ring!

It really is a matter of personal choice. Maybe if you could try both cuts on you could make a decision. I know I had to do that. In the end I chose a 2.17 carat round brilliant cut, but that's not at all what I thought I wanted when we started shopping!
That's what I'm looking for as well
Round. Face up size is bigger and I prefer the sparkle in a round to an asscher. I think asscher's are gorgeous but they don't have the blingbling I like.
