If your tights already have chamois, layering under is not that great, especially when you wear bike shorts that also have chamois. PI has a new bib without chamois. This should be good for layering. Regarding shaffing merino usually stretch a lot so it shouldn't be a problem.
I wore bibs before now i'm into the MEC sandbagger, my favorite pants. Behave like bibs (10% spandex) but looks like casual pants.
