I haven't tried the Hincapie Performer shorts but my cycling team kit is made by Hincapie. Not sure how they compare to the Performer but I hate the shorts we have. When they say high rise, they aren't kidding. We joke that the waistband is so high that we could almost pull it up over our boobs as a tube top style sports bra. Also, they are the only shorts I have that I need chamois butter for. They chafe me big time.
We're all shaped differently so what I hate might be someone else's favorite. My favorite shorts are by PI & Sugoi. I can't remember the specific ones I wear but not the ones that cost $120. I think I usually pay in the $60-80 range for a pair of shorts.
