I believe the difference one might feel is a combination of many factors including nut width, neck profile, fretboard radius and even the finish on the neck and how it might cause your skin to drag(or not). I've played some fat necked 1 11/16" that worked for me and some thin profiled 1 3/4" necks that did not feel right. To me, its not the numbers, it's the fit.
