Something to consider for your rear seat occupant is, if you can't get your legs in the plane, width won't matter. Taller or larger people just can't pull their feet in past the narrow rear door opening of the standard 2, then they have to pretty much get their left knee up to their chin to get their foot past the stick and aileron push/pull. Once they're in, they then have to figure out a way to extracate themselves from the airplane. Somedays, it took falling out on to the ground on our hands to exit the rear seat on the standard 2 we had. The door opening gets longer gets several inches wider with each increase in model. Also, unless I slumped in the seat a little, my headset was pressed firmly against the bottom of the wing, and I'm considered to have fairly long legs at 5'9". Other than his age helping, I haven't a clue how Sam at Titan did those demo flights with his size, but it couldn't have been comfortable.

I should add that for me, headroom and legroom are both largely irrelevant.
Width is all that matters.
