I looked at PNS or MAAP bib shorts (~250eur) - I know Assos has even more expensive

and I'm not sure if they are way better than Castelli or few other brands with bib shorts in 120-180 eur range.

My experiences with medium-level Castelli quickly got me to a point where I won't buy their products any more. I was very underwhelmed by the quality.
