You and I are in the same boat - 10.5EEE with a high instep. The 65 is not great with closed lacing, and ok with open lacing, while the 201 with its higher cone works in closed lacing if I size down to 10EEE.
I have four pairs of MacNeils, two pairs of Graysons (97 last) and five pairs of Leeds, a Dalton, a Long Branch and a Sullivan Street (all 511), because those lasts work really well for me.
I will say the Alden Hampton last works surprisingly well in closed lacing. Highly recommended.
2nded.
Alden Hampton has considerably more volume and 3/16in more in width than the 65 last in the same size.

+1. Hampton last gives the additional room I personally need and can’t get on the 65.

Ok, @woofmang, I have it now, your vintage black cherry bristols. Appropriate too, your sporting them in a driveway, imho, as they remind me of long-hooded vintage english sports cars....like this..
Ahh, yes... one of my favorites, too! Here's a reprise of the last picture of these taken in the driveway (the day before Christmas Eve, last year):
