likeThe summary is mostly accurate. I would say that the length of the band is similar, the differences in measurements come from the band of the 8001 Bandless being stretched out by wear.
The wires of the Cleo Side Support (8000) are wider, they are similar in width to the wires of the Cleo Bandless (8001) one cupsize up.
What is problably more important though is that the cup of the Bandless (8001)is more closed and has a lower rim. This can cause cutting into the breast in some cases. It also results into a smaller cup on the Bandless.
Also the centergore of the Cleo Bandless is much lower, so low that some shops advertise it as a plunge bra. (It is not, the cut is completely different from a plunge.) But it is definitely more suitable to deep V-Necks than the Cleo Side Support.
Finally the Cleo Bandless has a completely different cut in the cup. Most Elomi bras are 4-part-cups with a Side Support panel, the Elomi Cleo Bandless is a 3-part-cup without a Side Support panel.
