I have a few professionals and a B17. I don't have all in front of me at the moment but I can say there is a fairly big difference. I like the wide B17 the best, I'm not sure you will know which you like until you try one yourself.
I do have a old Wrights W3N... which I think might be similar to a B17 Narrow. I definitely like the B17 the most.
