Like others, I don’t have an exact measure, but I do find it noticeable. You’re going from 17” to something slightly less—probably losing an inch or perhaps a bit less than that. I would still take it, though, because of the increased legroom. Though it’s narrower, you’ve got a bit more leeway to slouch in the seat.
