My Silver Hot Class Tank came this afternoon. I reallly like it but am a little on the fence as to whether to keep it. I think it fits a little looser in the bust than the Black luxtreme/sheer luon I tried on yesterday because I am not squishing out of it like I did in the other one even though it is one size down from my normal tank size. The Silver Hot Class Tank is also better for those with large busts because the top part doesn't stretch as much as the luxtreme version. In the other version the weight of my boobs stretches both the straps and the luxtreme so it pulls the top down and reveals a lot of cleavage. The top stays in place much better in the silver luon version. The straps are still super stretchy so it doesn't give a lot of support but I can do low impact activities in this tank such as Bar Method and weight lifting. In the luxtreme version I wouldn't even wear the tank walking around Disneyland because there would be too much bounce. I can definitely wear this top for walking. I also prefer the circle mesh bottom because it has a little more weight and doesn't cling to lumps and bumps like the sheer luon. I am on the fence about keeping it because I don't know how much use I would get out of it. I am playing with layering various bras under it so I can use it for spin and I'll let you know if I come up with a workable solution. However, the decision may be out of my hands since the darn hang tag snapped off as I was taking the top off. I don't think it's a major problem because they can just thread a plastic thingy through the tag but it's annoying. I think I am leaning towards keeping it - it's super cute and a very flattering design. One nit - the hang tag price was $52 but the on-line price was $62. I wonder if it will be re-priced when it hits the stores.
Update - I tried layering my Free To Be Bra and a Flow Y under this tank and hated them both. However, I did put the cups in the tank and that helps a bit. One thing, since I am bustier the bottom part of the outer silver luon "bra" rides a bit high - part way up my boobs. The underlayer built-in bra part sits where it should but since I don't want to show a ton of cleavage I pull the tank up. Since it's all black it's not that noticeable. You can kind of see what I am talking about on the aruba one in the web photo:
