Thank you for your idea. I will look into the 2XU.

I've called a few of the athletic compression garment makers, they are very leary of answering questions about any technical issues of graduated compression or compression levels. That kind of leaves me hanging as I do want graduated medical grade compression. I don't like (nor need) chamois, so the chamois issue is moot. That being said, I do have 2 pair of athletic compression tights (Champion and Wacoal/CWX) from before I gave up on non-medical tights. With both of those tights I can see the bumps of my varicosities sticking up above skin level. That makes me think they must be less than 8-15 mgHG.

It is definitely a frustrating search, as most medical grade garments seem to be oriented toward elderly and sedentary people.
