When you look at them next to one another the PSA slab looks poorly designed because of all of the plastic areas while CSG was thoughtful in designing a label that will fit all the 107 parallels of Panini products while still keeping the entire slab smaller than the PSA slab. If you line up the card in a PSA slab with a card in a CSG slab, there's almost identical space above it to the top of the slab - CSG just uses that space better.

I have seen a few on modern cards and the labels with subgrades look great. That is not my issue. It is the cards without subgrades, especially if they only have two lines of text, which is common in older cards. The empty space is distracting and it looked horrific to me in person. That was a slab with three lines of text by the way. I could just imagine what the Woods card would look like without subgrades. 50% white blank space.
