I always look at it as keeping a range were aikido is usually trained is much harder then the range where judo is trained. It is usually easy to clinch, aikido as I see it trained is ment to be used before the clinch. It is hard to keep people in that range.

Personally I am so used to judo that once we clinch I don't even bother trying aikido stuff, the judo stuff is easy enough.
