Who really cares if a jeweller with a 30x microscope can see imperfections? As long as you, your future fiancee, and the general public can't tell the difference, then it's all good, IMO. (Maybe it own't fetch as much at a pawn shop but I'm guessing that's not in your plans.)
Actually the cut does matter quite a bit to how the diamond appears, the cut is what determines how much light and at which angle it is reflected through the diamond. That is what gives the diamond it's "sparkle", a poorly cut diamond, regardless of size will look dull and darker.
