Sure, because you are clearly not one of those "many buyers [who] do a poor job of identifying what tone they want and evaluating whether or not individual instruments are capable of providing that tone".

But if I may ask, a 1 3/4" nut is exactly 1/16" (1.59mm) wider than a 1 11/16" nut. I can imagine that this difference can be just too much in the opposite direction (= make the difference between touching neighbouring strings or not). But if the former hurts your hand and not the latter, wouldn't that be more the result of the neck profile it is coupled with?
