I am very cheap, but I had one bravado bra (the original) already and loved it.  I bought this one because it's got a traditional back closure instead of being a racerback that you have to pull over your head.  This bra is as nice, well made, supportive and comfortable as the original style.  Completely worth the cost.  Especially if you'll be wearing nursing bras exclusively for at least a year, as I do.  I'm just sorry I didn't have this bra for the previous three children!
