Update 18 September:
Bah, the bra is too wide for me, after all :/ I notice that I leave it in the dresser because during all-day wear, the wires start to poke and the too-far-apart straps kind of dig in my armpits.
So I'll just have to list it and go for a 30H.

16 July:
Well this was an interesting acquaintance!
When I received the bra, my first thought was that the cups are HUGE, there’s no way in the world I’m going to fill those!
And indeed, the cups are very big – but funnily enough, not really too big. I think I could go with a 30H, too, i.e. a size ... smaller both in the band and the cup, but I might be in risk of quad-boobing. The 32H gives more coverage than the half-cups I currently own, but that definitely isn’t a problem, on the contrary. The support is really amazing!! The cups are actually too wide for me, and the straps are really wide-set, which I assumed would feel uncomfortable, but surprisingly enough, the whole package just feels really firm and supportive. I could even run a bit in this bra without having to be afraid of ending up with two black eyes.
Even though there's no gaping in the cups themselves, the lace on the top of the cup doesn’t sit perfectly flat (which I assume it would were the cups a tad smaller), but it sets as I put a shirt on. The thick embroidery + the “gaping” lace means that I can’t wear this bra under shirts with thin material, but for me it’s not really a problem.
The band is very firm and doesn’t stretch much. I wear this on the second-tightest hooks as new, but I hope I won’t have to alter down it too soon. There are only two hooks, which is a definite con. The band is also a bit weirdly constructed so that it looks as if it’s riding up, even though it sits put. I love the supportiveness of the band, but it’s not exactly a back fat eliminating whole.
And the straps... Padded, flat comfort straps!!!! <3
Summa summarum: this actually should be a far worse fit than it really is: too wide and slightly large cups, wide-set straps, not-really-perfect band... but the whole is incredibly comfortable and supportive. The Delphi looks like a special occasions bra (so pretty!), but I suspect this one will be my heavy-used everyday bra.

Hi could you measure stretched cup depth in this bra for me? :) Where the cup is biggest, so on top just below the lace.
Also if you could measure strap position; From tip of the wire channel at the sides and to the part of the strap furthest back. Both unstreched and stretched :)
Nerd here has wanted this bra since forever :)
