Meh...I ended up not liking the green chamois all that much more than the red/gold in the end. I found that I liked it for my butt, better, but up front it ended up being "too much chamois," as Becky had found. It wasn't so bad when I wasn't riding more than an hour, but beyond that I started needing to get out of the saddle more and more to bring back blood flow and reduce the pain.
I also found that there is a seam that kind of runs along the underside of the butt/thigh and contacts with the edge of my saddle, digging it into my cheeks a bit. That led to some hot spots that I'm sure could get potentially very bad on long rides.
In the meantime I sucked it up and spent more $$ on a pair of a new PI style, the Symphony Cut short. 6" inseam, better seam placement, fewer seams, a chamois that fits me like a dream (wow, my girly bits didn't complain a bit last night! The crotch area of this chamois is much narrower and less bulky), awesome elastic-free front panel, and a nice little stretchy pocket on the right rear--perfect for a house key, or gel, or lip balm.
