Wide heads are ONLY good if you have the ratios to go along with them. For example if you have a very high bizygomatic width you better have a higher than average IPD to go along with it or else your ES ratio will be bad. Barrett can pull off the wide head look because (using the same example from above) while his bizygomatic width is fairly above average his IPD is also fairly above average. Hence his ES ratio is decent. So it all balances out for him in this respect anyway.
In my case, my bizygomatic width is even higher than Barrett’s (it’s either 97th or 98th percentile — can’t remember which now, I checked a while ago though). My FWHR is over 2, around 2.1. But since my IPD is average-ish range, the combination of a very high bizygomatic width with a more or less normal IPD creates a bad ES ratio. So in cases like mine, narrower heads are better.
