Asscher or round brilliant?

I adore the asscher cut. My husband picked mine up while they were having a trunk show at the jewlers so he actually got to meet part of the Royal family. I have a 3 stone royal asscher ring. LOVE it
 
If size doens't matter and you are not looking for brilliance and fire, go with Asscher. If you want something that will sparkle and have fire, I'd go with the round brilliant.
I'm not sure what asschers you've been looking at, but I've seen GemEx BrillianceScope reports on some asschers that are higher than RBs, especially on colored light return.

Here's an example
