Issue resolved
Thanks everyone!
Original problem
I actually think it fits pretty nicely. I still have yet to find a bra where the gore rests for me, but it doesn't poke so I consider that a win. In this picture I'm about evenly nursed.

helpfulLooks pretty good to me! Only thing I might suggest is to tighten the straps a tiny bit to fix the bit of room at the top of the cups

Have you done the scoop and swoop? From the photo, it looks a bit loose. Some extra space that could be filled up.
The Cleo Jude has a very low gore. Maybe something like that would work for you. I don't really want to recommend that particular style as it seems to be such an odd shape.
From checking out the bras you added, I would definitely recommend trying a plunge style. The bras you added all have a higher gore that you need.

I'll try and do a better swoop & scoop. :-) I adore the way this bra looks. It is my style. :-) I'll also order a Cleo Jude and give it a shot! Thanks for the rec.

When you swoop and scoop, also consider (once you've sw/cooped from armpit in), sw/cooping from the gore out as well. I have a lot of inner fullness which got more pronounced/stubborn after nursing softened my breast tissue, and that combined with my close-set breasts means gores always sit on breast tissue for me. This may or may not be true for you too, but from your upper shot it does look like you might have some inner fullness. Sw/cooping away from the gore at least gives it a chance to tack.
It also appears, from the measurements alone, that the band could be on the larger side? The bra is listing a cup depth of only 20cm yet you have a horizontal breast perimeter of nearly 27cm; most people wear cup depths smaller than their perimeter, and soft tissue does squish down, but that's quite a large difference. Is it possible the band is a little loose and is compensating for some of the cup volume? Have you tried the 80F for comparison? A band that's too tight can be murder, but if you feel you're between band sizes and are sizing up for comfort, sometimes it's actually more comfortable to err on the side of the shorter band and just use an extender to get an extra inch of band. I do this with my Cleo bras, rather than start a bra on the middle hooks and end up on the tightest hooks within a month.
By the way, I agree, it's a beautiful bra.

:) So I finally gave in to the wonderful wendybien's Brabi-wan Kenobiness and went to Nordstrom to try on what felt like 100 bras. I'm not an E ..or a F..but a G. So even though I adore the look of this bra, it'll be going back to wendybien. ;) Darn it!
