As to the Carvelo vs Pinarello it's just curiousity. I hear/read both of them mentioned a lot and wanted to know if there is a consensus out there.
Shorts and saddles are as personal as anything can get for cycling. Some people like more padding than others. If you're having comfort issues with PI shorts you might just need to put some more saddle time in. A lot of us spend a lot of time finding what we like and finding the right position for the saddle.
On the other hand, if you hate those shorts you have to figure out why. Some people swear by Assos. I can be happy on some of the cheap shorts.
