Update:
Argh, my boobs have grown by a critical half a cup, which means this bra doesn't fit anymore https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I inevitably quadboob no matter how much I pray that I wouldn't... So I guess I'll just have to list it.

I fell in love with this bra the moment I tried it on. It’s a perfect fit for me!
The band runs quite small, so if you’re between sizes as I am, you might want to size up. The cups, on the other hand, I find very true to size.
On me, the 70 is snug but not uncomfortable on the first hooks as new, ... and the centre gore lays flat on the sternum between my breasts. No spillage anywhere and I can fill the cups all around. So everything’s according to the text book!
I absolutely l o v e the shape the CHP gives me. I have fairly round breasts by nature, and the CHP complements that even further, yet without looking unnaturally round. The straps are fully adjustable (although a bit cumbersome due to the decorative pattern), which I really appreciate as my breasts sit quite high up on my chest, and as a rule I need to shorten the straps if they’re not adjustable all the way. However, they are quite stiff and hard and might be a bit uncomfortable. But that’s the only negative I can think of.
All in all, the CHP Mak feels supportive yet comfortable. Looks great, feels great – I believe I’ve found a keeper.
Edit: After wearing it for a while, I have to add two cons.
Firstly, the edges of the paddings under the hooks are very sharp and hard; they scratch my back quite bad and obviously don't add to the comfort. I actually had to add some medical tape around the edges at first in order to be able to wear the bra for a whole day. (I have the exact same problem with the HM Gold.) Therefore, I lowered the comfort to just "okay". The straps, on the other hand, aren't uncomfortable as I suspected, but have softened just enough.
Secondly, the band's decorative lace at the front curls during wear, which isn't exactly appealing. Of course, this doesn't affect fit or comfort or anything, but I lowered the bra appearance to "good".
For these reasons, I also lowered quality to "good" in stead of "excellent".
