I've got one thing to say: Cleo's Alexa is the best bra ever - the lift is so good like in EM bras, shape is round, underwires are perfect for me and it's unpadded!
What is your experience with other Cleo bras designed like Alexa? Do you go for the same size ? Is there any difference between models?

I've tried the Marcie and the Meg as well as Alexa. For me....Marcie is more open on top. I couldn't get a good fit with the Meg. I would say they are all a little different. I do think Marcie gives just as much lift and support and the shape is round, almost slightly flattened. Think the opposite extreme of pointy...still a good shape for me. I have Marcie in 28FF and Alexa in 30F...beside the obvious band size difference they fit pretty similar in the cup.
I love the Alexa too :)
About other Cleos I tried:
Meg: I found it the most similar to the Alexa in shape and size. I own both in a 30J. The Meg offers 1cm more coverage on top than Alexa. http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/269/dvci1679.jpg
With both bras I have a bit of empty space on top of the cups (nothing severe, not visible under t-shirts) on smaller days, while they just fit me right on bigger days. So I would say both bras are quite similar in size as well.
Natasha: Shape is not entirely similar to Alexa. I think it does run a bit smaller in cup than Alexa. Natasha in 30J fits me best on my smaller days.
Zia: Does run small. I tried the black/yellow one in 30J, and black bras do tend to run smaller. The band (61cm unstretched, 75cm stretched) was far more tight than on Alexa and Meg. Cups were also with an extender too small for me. I would need a 32J in this style.
I can say nothing about the bravissimo exclusive one though.
Marcie: Epic fail in 30HH. Looked weird on me and made in-cup-quadraboob because of that seam between under and upper section of the cups.
Sasha: I have this one in 32GG, and back when it fitted me, I really loved the round shape.
I hope this helps a bit. I plan to write reviews on these bras as soon as I have time.
