How close are the dimensions of the Bushman and Mainland ukes?

I borrow a friends Bushman Concert and it is a blast to play, but I am seriously considering a Mainland.

Are the neck widths the same?

It would great if the Mainland neck was a bit wider.

thanks

I had a Bushman concert. It felt good to play, but I wasn't happy with the sound. Sounded thin, to me. The Mainland mango concert is incredible. I recommend it.
 
My Mainland concert mahogany neck is plenty wide - just right for my fairly small hand - wouldn't want it any wider. I'm in the process of re-uploading some vids that mysteriously vanished into the ether on YouTube. There's one called "Back To The Mainland" that's a rough studio mix recorded on ProTools with a simple AKG 414 set up. Some are just me into a camera, and some cheezoid GarbageBand internal mic recordings, forgive the sloppy playing, but they give you some sense of the sound and action. Can't vouch for the Bushman, but I hear they can be worth the wait if they're back ordered.
