Regardless of the amount of powder, after enough time in the saddle you'll overwhelm it. I don't bother with powder; I just use Assos chamois creme.
I've got a couple pairs of PI bibs and they're alright, but they're not my favourites for really long distances. For that, I prefer my Assos Uno or Mille bibs. (Buy a pair of Mille bibs and $130 won't seem so bad any more...)
