I guess what I'm saying is, I'll bet of all the above factors, nut width is one of the LEAST important... neck profile being the MOST important.

All IMTO... that's In My THEORETICAL Opinion...
I will second your opinion. I have a skinny necked 1 11/16" and a modified "V" profiled neck 1 11/16" And without a doubt there ia a world of difference in the feel. Much, much more than the difference between my 1 11/16" and 1 3/4" guitars.

The neck profile makes the spacing feel much more open and uncramped because your hand is more comfortable and makes fretting much easier. I was surprised at the difference myself.
