The Revolution tights look pretty cool! - but aren't they mostly seamless? So wouldn't that automatically solve your seam problem? Looks like they only have them down the inside of the leg, but I could be misunderstanding the website...or where you're wearing through them...?
Heh, I'm between sizes, too. I have sized up in the past, and am considering sizing down this next time because sometimes I feel like my Stabilyx insulator tights are falling off when I run in them.

I am wearing through the seam on the inner thigh, probably about 3" down the inseam, maybe 4". I can't tell if the revolution are truly seamless, or if it's just the support web that's seamless (the others being stitched on, though quite well - I never wore them to the point that I had to worry about the compression wearing out).

I sure do love them. It seems like wearing through the seams is inevitable with as many miles as I put on them.... but I don't really want to wear two pairs of tights. I have been wearing a pair of REI 4" compression shorts over my Stabilyx insulators when I run in them so I can keep them pristine for snowboarding, too. I could probably do that with anything I buy, though it looks kind of funny
