I love this bra! It is a gorgeous tomato red color with smooth material on the cups and the band is made from a stretchy lace. The straps are soft and fully adjustable (yay!)
The bra is VERY comfortable. The only other EM bra I have is an HP Kobalt, and even though that one might be a tiny bit more luxurious in the comfort department, this one is still phenomenal. It might be because the cups are padded/lined and I'm used to wearing unlined bras. Either way, I love how it feels.
The shape is very uplifted, projected, and rounded, which I LOVE. ... EM definitely has a distinct shape compared to other bras.
The band is a little too large, so I'm wearing it on the tightest set of hooks. I feel the cups and wires fit me pretty well, though. I previously was under the assumption that I needed wide wires, but after trying this bra, I now realize that I might actually fit better in narrow/medium wires now that I can see and feel the difference compared to my other bras.
I have a little quadboob in this bra, but just like in the HP Kobalt I have, I don't think it's actually true quadboob -- I think it's just due to me having very soft boobs. I am very bottom heavy and very soft, so if I were to size up in the cup, it would leave me looking deflated, I believe.
All in all, I really like this bra/style and will definitely consider purchasing other ones in the future (most likely in a 30JJ.) Both the Ewa CHP and HP definitely work better for me than the Masquerade Rhea, which was an epic fail.

Curious what about the band makes you think it is too big? I can see the extra space in the cup when you pull it away, but from the front, angle, and side views they look fine. IMO the band looks fantastic. It isn't riding up in your pics, it's closed on the loosest hooks with no sign of strain. Also, the cups look to be sitting where they belong - like on some of your 65FFs the cups look to be pulled apart if that makes sense, as if the band was pulling the cups farther apart than they're designed to be. I don't see that here.
