Draw your own conclusions. 
PS - he said to go by their sizing charts, and they should feel quite snug. By their sizing charts, they actually run large. I have a medium non-insulated pair I got from the LRS, and while they're not baggy, the small pair I got with the rep's advice does feel like the compression works better. By their size charts I'm actually on the small end of small. Typically I take a medium bottom in most athletic wear, or fall on the line between small and medium.
PPS - if you're interested in the non-insulated '08 medium tights I have, I could make you a smokin' deal - worn fewer than 10 times -
