Gee. I chose him too and all I got a diamond. How did you get the nice scrolls (he only sold crap mobs/scrolls to me).

I believe the stuff he sells is random within a fixed range, just like all other merchants.

What is the benefit of the diamond? I actually decided to go back and choose the 'strong' brother john, since you get access to all three brothers shops. It basically boiled down to the diamond or a really cool scroll John had in his shop. I chose the scroll so was wondering what the diamond's benefit is besides $$$, if any.

The diamond is worth 50,000 gold. I have heard that money isn't an issue on Medium so you might think twice about this. Also, you will need to make sure you have fully upgraded your barter skill (Mind tree) to get full value from this. As a Hard Paladin, I found that the diamond was very nice indeed. I always need the money. I chose the young brother as well and the Diamond is all I got.

I've chosen the eldest brother. That made the shops of all three brothers available to me. The eldest had a nice item if I remember correctly.
Also the elder brother said something about killing the other two brothers if you'd choose him, so I don't see how that would benefit you. Unless you would be the one carrying out the task (exp + gold reward from fights).
