Now ya wouldn't think that .013 would make a hoot of difference would ya? But of course it does. I struggled with the larger 1 3/4" nut over the years with several guitars until I finally decided that my hands simply are not big enough nor my fingers long enough to comfortably accommodate the larger nut. As with many things in life, it's personal preference along with whatever works best for you. One is only "better" or my "desirable" than the other if it meets your particular needs. In my case, cleanly chording a 1 3/4" just wasn't going to happen for me.
