Interior room Coupe vs Spider?

Weird question - have a 430 spider - never sat in a coupe - I am a big boy and a little tight w legroom in the spider - seat doesn't go back far enough - is the coupe any better?

on the coupe, you have a rear shelf with some additional space to recline. i don't think seats go back more though.

The windshield racks backwards a bit more on a spider than coupe.

A dealer would let you try one, and you could see. I recall sitting in both when shopping Ferraris - the coupe seemed a bit roomier, but it would be a matter of only an inch or two at most.

I was sitting in a F430 coupe the other day and my hair was touching the headliner. Seat was all the way down. And I am not tall. And I don't have like an afro or anything.
