The Performer shorts are cut incredibly high while the Power shorts are cut more like normal shorts. My Power shorts are from a few years ago and the chamois is much like the Castelli chamois (red and like the ones MP bought). Hmm, I'd have to go check the size. I don't recall buying a size up. I think I only do that for Assos.
V, have you tried the Giordana shorts with the W3D OF chamois ? The pad is similar but not the same as the Assos so it may be missing padding where you don't like it. I'm so overloaded on shorts now that I decided not to get a pair after all. I think that chamois is in several different style shorts from Giordana.

Last year I got smalls (the ones I think are performers) and they were a bit too big - couldn't keep my knee warmers up kind of baggy....
So this year I went for the xsmalls (pretty sure these are power shorts) and they are skin tight
could just be the difference in the cut, but its good I prefer a bit more form fitting.. their size chart says a xs is a 2-4 and I'm pretty small so I'm usually on the lower end of that."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide
