That bra looks better but its also too small. 
You're on the brink of quadboobing that one too. Do play with the calculator, its often very close to the truth. For me it tends to show one band and one cup too big, so keeping the letters but going one step down on band has worked the best many times by now. And yes, picking bras is like arcane occult craft rather than exact science because each manufacturer has their own ideas of what which size is. Also they tend to make difference with thing that are never mentioned which obviously should like cup depth, cup volume, wire width, wire shape/depth and so on. Its a hit or miss, trial and error.
Just to give you an example, Elomi bras tend to be very true to the size on cup volume, but they tend to make wide "open" wires and shallower cups depending on the model. Then Bravissimo appears to be known for very generous sizing, "deep" often U shaped wires which are normal or slightly narrow and then deep well shaping cups. This means that my 36KK and 36L bras from Bravissimo are still too big in depth, even though everything else is already perfect. So these bras turned into goal bras and once I fit them, I will measure far bigger by volume compared to their marked sizes... Another known for narrow wires and deep cups is Ewa Michalak, the Polish shop who make custom big bras...
Its always a hassle and you might found 3-4 different sizes which all fit you well as they're often so different. Trial and error is the way or professional fitting.
