likesThe Juna is well suited for shallow and full-on-top shapes. I find the high center gore in many Cleos uncomfortable at first, but shifting the position of the wires in the underwire channel, bending the wires, and washing the fabric a few times reduces the discomfort. The band is stretchy, making the the Juna less supportive than it could be.
The Porcelain is better suited for projected, perhaps even fullness shapes. It is definitely too closed on top for my shallow shape, resulting in quadboob even when I size up several cups. Although the quadboob decreases when I size up in cup size, empty space at/above the apex increases. Many fit issues, however, are disguised by the molded cup. The empty volume was only apparent when the cup was pulled forward by the straps (e.g. when I extended my arms forward). On my 26" deflated and 28" deflated ribcage, the Porcelain 30 band is comparable, and definitely less stretchy than the Juna 28 band. The underwires are shaped a little differently, coming up higher instead of flaring out at a lower point. The taller wires and wings are much higher than the Juna, so the Porcelain is better at containing side boob, especially among those new to properly fitted bras and the swoop and scoop method.
The most significant fitting differences are openness and suitable shapes (shallow/FoT vs. projected), band construction (continous vs. discontinuous), and cup construction (seamed padded vs. molded). The Juna fits me better because of the shape, however, I preferred the Porcelain on many occasions because the edges of the cups disappear under clothing (the top edge of the Juna shows through most clothing), the higher wires and wings made me feel more contained, and the molded shape was able to disguise a poor fit.
