Bikes: Confente Masi Gran Criterium

Q factor question

Guys--
I hate to admit it, but it might be time to hang up the 1974 Masi on the wall. Having trouble getting parts and when I do, they cost as much as I paid for the bike. So I am thinking about Indy Fab SSR, and it looks like virtually anything modern that I buy will have a larger (wider) Q. At my advanced age, I don't know if I can be biomechanically retrained to a wider stance (my wife asserts I am untrainable, which is another way to say I am male). Am I over generalizing, or will anything with a modern bottom bracket have a wider Q than the good old Campy NR?
THanks--
