Aside from chamois differences, the higher priced shorts often have 6-8 panels of material around the hips and legs, making a really nice contoured fit which feels good and is very supportive for long hours in the saddle. Cheaper shorts might only be 4 panel construction, for example. But they might be perfectly fine for 1 or 2 hour rides.
Sometimes expensive shorts go on sale simply because they are last year's model- always good to look for!
