I don't think so, it isn't all about width, at least based on my experience and the contours of my azz....
I rode an Antares for a long time and liked it a lot. About 1000 miles ago, I very happily switched to a Prologo Scratch Nack, which is more rounded and narrower (134 mm wide)...it is much more about finding the right place for my sit bones to balance where my legs can move freely and I can sustain long term position(s) then it is about supporting my weight....
....however, if you insist on a cutout (my azz doesn't) than you may need to pay closer attention to width...
