I have always been amazed at the huge difference it makes. And forum members seem to concure, it makes a big difference. I would be highly suspicious of your local Martin dealer if she/he doesn't know this.

This is not to say that one is better than the other. Martin dread players are frequently bluegrass pickers who prefer the narrower nut to facilitate their quick pick runs. Fingerstyle players seem to prefer wider nuts to facilitate their intricate fingering. One is not better than the other, but, they are definitly different.
