Cockpit size (VD 95 onwards)?

Can't remember who told me, but someone mentioned that the change in FF regs around 95 resulted in genuinely wider cockpit sizes in the newer cars, VD's being much more generous than say Mygale.

How much of an improvement are we talking about here? I'm pretty broad across the shoulders so in my VD88 I have to sit lower down to 'tuck' my arms in the gap between the top tube and the one runnning diag down to give myself any kind of change of making lock to lock.

I'm wondering if a newer car would solve that problem, if not my laptimes (!) - not that I have the budget mind, but still, it'd be handy to know.
