I'm inclined to start leaning your way Alan. Mind you the ONLY info I have right now is from the 2008 Q&A, but last year's manual had the same sizing chart and the wide body orientation was allowed in the Q&A in 2008. Should prob still be asked this year, but carry on with the wide design ideas....
