I'm reasonably certain the quadding I'm getting in this bra right now is due to hormonal swelling-- the girls looked like they had swelled up a bit over the last few days, and I'm about due for my period. Slight quadding aside, straps are *nicely* positioned, gore tacks better than I've had in ages yet without sitting on or digging into boob tissue, the wires are nice and narrow and *don't* distort, and there seems to be better room for projection.
