Are Asscher cuts expensive?

Asscher cuts are less expensive than round brilliant cuts because less of the rough diamond is lost during the cutting process. However, because of their wide-open tables, inclusions are more visible in Asscher cuts, which means they need gemstones with higher clarity grades, which could drive up their price.
