Magnepan 1.7 or 3.7 purchasing advice please :)

I want to replace my MMG with either the 1.7 or the 3.7. I am a little concerned with the size of my listening room, it's 18 feet x 10 feet. According to Magnepans web site they say you can put any Magnipan in any room size as long as you can live with the look.
Because my room is only 10 feet wide, once you put each speaker about 1 foot from the side walls, the 3.7's will be very close to each other. With my current MMG's set up, the left and right speaker are only 4.5 feet apart. If I go with the 1.7, they may end up just under 4 feet apart.
When I look at the frequency response of the 3.7 compared to the 1.7, the 3.7 is so much closer to the 20.7. The 1.7 is closer to the MMG's.
I have updated my amps, preamp, DAC and sub, with very good components. I want to update my speakers to the best I can but obviously they need to work in the room.

I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
