The fixed ones are actually quite a bit narrower. Not simply across the hips either but also across the shoulders, so quite a few people don't get on with them too well. If you have a small frame then you will be okay but if not then you should try a set for size as they could well be an exclusion criteria. The folding ones, however, are much closer in fit to the 996 buckets and are a comfortable fit for most people - ever the fairly powerfully built.
