I like both of these shorts. The chamois is good-to-go with out being too bulky. IMO, you can definitely have a point where you have too much chamois;)
I know it writes that the 5 1/2" short, the "sugar" short is good for a spin class, but I wear these out on long rides all the time, and I specifically like them because they're short. I find that to be more comfortable, especially in the heat. I like the wider bands on the legs of the "attack short. Nice feature.
FTR, I have never done an IM, so I don't know if these would work well in that instance, but I've done plenty of long rides in both shorts, and they're more than adequate.
I will be curious to see what others post. Good question.
