I'll give you the advice I got from my long distance friends:

If you're not riding 300k (187.5mi) or more, don't bother with the FI.Mille short/bib. There were even a few guys who told me not to bother with them on anything less than a 400k.
For 100 - 200k rides, save a few bucks and buy the FI.Uno model instead. The cut is a little more forgiving across the waist (the compression on the FI.Mille is a little tight in the belly, even in the XLG) and the padding is not as heavy as the FI.Mille (which is their high mileage short/bib). I'm looking at picking up a pair or two of these for my 200k rides, or as a change during a 600k.
