BE1900 20.5"
CRJ200 17"
ERJ145 17.3"
ERJ70 18.2"
A320 18"
737's 17.2"
747 17"
757 17"
767 17.9"
777 18"
787 17.3"

Pretty much all the same. I'll take the extra inch though. Not for my hips, but my shoulders. Two guys next to each other in coach can get uncomfortable. Of course, the Beech 1900 wins for seat width. Who'd have thought the smallest plane is the most comfortable (seat width wise)?
