Endurance Drop Bar Width and Shoulder Width

I think I'm going to "drop" my Scattos and go with the 3T Aeronova Team bars for endurance events.
What's the current reasoning on bar width relative to shoulder width? I'm fairly broad shouldered -- approx. 47cm - -and wondering if I should go with 40cm or 42cm.
My Scattos are 37cm and feel normal to me, but then again that's all I have ever used since I started racing on the track. Now when I jump on my road bike, they feel unstable and too wide (I suppose that's an indication of how much time I spend training on my track bike vs. road bikes). The Velodrome Shop's page on this suggests 42cm based on my shoulder width, but since 37cm already feels fine to me, I am thinking of 40cm. Thoughts?
