OK, ElJam sealed the deal with BikeSportMichigan. I'm going to go with the Mille's because it says they are "especially for performance/recreational racers without the build of a top professional (normal people fit best in these shorts)", whereas the Assos website says Equipe's are "made for riders who prefer the “racing-fit” (tighter)".

I have some weight to lose, and it's all in the middle, so I'm going to go with the Mille's. I'll let everyone know what I think after a few rides.

Thanks again everyone... lots of good info on all the websites and from your personal experience.
