Finding comfortable bib shorts for tri bike

So I just bought a new tri bike, and have been getting used to riding in the aero position. But I’m finding my old bib shorts to be sort of hit or miss in terms of comfort, so I’m trying to find something new. And I’m just jonesing for a new kit.

When I’m looking at bib shorts, does it make sense to look at the more “race” style bibs instead of the comfort style?

For example I bought a pair of the le col hors catagorie shorts with a strava coupon, and while the padding is great for my sit bones I’m finding the padding a bit excessive up front, which causes numbness when I spend extended periods in the aero bars. On the other end of the spectrum I have a pair of pearl izumi tri shorts with minimal padding which don’t feel great on the sit bones, but don’t cause numbness either.

I was looking at the assos bibs, and they have the race fit equipe or the Mille comfort series. The equipe appears to have a thinner chamois, so im wondering if that makes more sense to get for long rides.

Does anyone have experience with “race fit bibs”?
