Agree, although another thing to consider is whether the (I assume stock) saddle is the right one for you. My experience with Trek is they don't exactly include the best saddles on their bikes, as they (rightly) figure most people will swap it out for something that actually works for them (kind of like pedals). See if your bike shop has some demo saddles you can try - maybe those will chafe less.
