I've never had problems with a 20" hard side fitting above but I am concerned about the whether or not a wide body will change that. I could definitely use the slight increase in space the wide body offers but want to be sure before I go ahead.
Any advise from those who have either of these would be much appreciated!
I personally don't understand people purchasing a wide-body, or why they're manufactured in the first place. It exceeds the size requirements for AA (my airline), UA and DL - and I'm sure other airlines as well. Whether or not it will actually fit in the overhead bin is moot if you're asked to put it in the sizer b4 boarding. Why take that gamble of having it gate checked?
