Don't know about those particularly models, but I can certainly recommend Giordana Tenax. Well made and comfy.

Are these similar or if not the same

They are a different model. The difference may be in the chamois or the number of panels. Worth speaking to the dealer maybe?

There's quite a good review of Bib short in the latest C+ mag, it might be On Line on Bikeradar now) I quite like the look/price of the Craft pair (£59, reviewed 9 out of 10) but I don't know anybody who stock the stuff .

worth a look ar Prendas:-

get some expensive stuff well discounted at times, it may be naff team names etc but, as I have no idea who they are, I couldn't care less. Got a £70 pair for £40 earlier this week, they also do some properly sized(up to 5XL) stuff.

Swore I'd stick to waisted stuff and never do bibs, the reverse is now true. Though for pootling about I may get some specific cycling/[added boxers for wear under normal shorts.

Bib shorts are wonderful. I have a pair of Assos which cost about £100 four years ago. Still in great condition though my wife gets a bit tired of sewing the pad back in when the stitching wears!!

Thanks for the link! Just ordered a s/s shirt for when it's a wee bit warmer!

I would definitely go for bibs, as opposed to ordinary shorts - they are so much more comfortable. The only problem I have is when I have to stop and nip behind a hedge in order to strain the greens. Bibs are not very toilet stop friendly, but the comfort outweighs that.
