Sports bra rec?

Has anyone here tried out the Enell Sports Bra 100? My ancient Champion bra isn't doing it for me anymore, so I'm looking for a replacement. I'm a 44DD, and I want something with good hold and no back closure, and easy to put on. Aside from Enell, does anyone have any other recommendations?

I worried about that when I first bought it. It feels kind of weird at first, because at least for me, it extends farther down below my breasts than I'm used to, and I was just very aware of it. And putting it on especially at first can be kind of a production. But the friend who pimped it to me (and who is about your measurements, come to think of it) swore it would be fine, and she was right. I've had bras that made me feel slowly oxygen deprived over the course of hours, but this never has even when I'm working really hard. For comparison, I can slip four fingers under the band in the front, but there is definitely no bouncing going on over here. I think it works because the bottom band is very wide, and is not actually compressing you that much. It doesn't have to, because their crazy bra engineering magic built into all that real estate in the back is what's doing the heavy lifting, as it were.
