Well, that comment more-or-less settles it for me...

I like the padding that is there (I can't imagine it being comfortable if it is narrower than what I am already using) and it is good to here a real-life comparison between the two "heights" at the front, thanks GLC.

I still intend to get a women's specific pair, just to try and compare, but I no longer wonder if I am missing out on something...
