Drop thumb on narrow neck

$

I'm fairly new to banjo. Been playing 2+ years and doing fine. I play a Deering Goodtime Classic. When I play drop thumb I'm very sloppy. Feels like the 1st and 2nd strings are too close together. I say that because when I play on a friend's "higher end" banjo (Goldtone OT800) I'm much crisper and cleaner. Does the Goldtone have a slightly wider neck? Should I shop for a banjo that has a measurably wider neck?
