If apple put an SCSI port in the new IIgs machine, they have to find extra
space on the motherboard to place it there. So, it's my guess that by default
the new machine's case will *BE* 4 inches wider no matter what.
However, I would still like to see them "float" an internal hard drive over
the motherboard, much like they did in the Macintosh II.
Morgan Davis brought up another good point:

One point nobody brought up is the fact that the IIGS RGB monitor extends
over the sides of the GS case by a small amount. With an extra two inches on
each side, the system would look more "stable". Two inches on the sides of
your monitor isn't that bad.
