According to Wikipedia:
"Slightly Included category (SI) diamonds have noticeable inclusions that are easy to very easy for a trained grader to see when viewed under 10x magnification.[2] The SI category is divided into two grades; SI1 denotes a higher clarity grade than SI2. These may or may not be noticeable to the naked eye."
"Good" is relative. From an investment point of view, SI is not as good as the less included clarity ratings.
