Mooney M20F narrow across the shoulders

I'm 6'4" but 220lb. I usually fly my F model with my wife so I guess I
don't notice it as much. I do know that its the same size as an Arrow
(I measured them side by side after many rumors that the Arrow was
bigger).

I have flown a few hours in various Mooneys and hundreds in my Arrow IV
(including all seats). Measurements are objective, and a single
measurement can be deceiving. Comfort is subjective. By comparison to
a Mooney, to me the Arrow is like riding in a limousine. My primatry
discomfort in the Mooney is legroom -- not length but width and height.
Pilot and copilot legs have very little wiggle room up and down, side
to side. This becomes VERY noticable on a long flight.
