Actually, I'd give the dinner plates the edge: only slightly wider, and much lower profile.

If you want a clunkier boot, I would get the barrie or grant last. I think the plaza last has slimmer toe box and looks more elongated...

I agree this is true relative to the Barrie or Grant last, but in the grand scheme, the Plaza last still makes for a pretty substantial looking shoe. Nothing Alden makes looks slim or enlongated in an absolute sense.

Compared to the Italians, no. But then again, elongated doesn't really work on large feet.
