I have tried some endura stuff. No Likey. The undershorts that are a hybrid between between boxers and lycra have a badly shaped padded bit that just bunches up and the proper shorts = too much padding in my experience. Seriously thinking of visiting a person with sewing skilzz and designing some.
I have the padded boxers, as well as some Cannondales padded liners for MTN shorts. Use them a fair bit in the winter under running tights and the like. Would'nt do much distance in them though. They both move around too much. Handy for layering though.
A big part of high end bib short tech is in the pad attachment. The pad needs to stay still while not effecting the natural stretch of the shorts. All this while having no chaffing points. Tricky stuff.
Have you checked out 'start fitness' ? Its were I used to get a fair bit of my running gear when I was based in the UK and I remember them having a well priced tri section.
