They all look good on the web.

One interesting thing I've noticed is that Assos goes the other way in panel count, touting that they have only 4 panels on their high-end bibs where others brag about their 10-panel design. I'm anxious to see how they do that.

I'm of course going to try them on for fit, but it's harder to evaluate a chamois and other factors at first glance. Does anyone have any comments on this particular grouping?
