I am told that I absolutely need the bubble doors to be happy in life. Does anyone have close up pictures of the standard door and bubble doors so I can see if my life will be empty and void if I don’t order bubble doors at some point.

I depends on how big you and your plane are. If you're normal sized and flying a 1-4 then yes, the bubble doors will significantly improve your comfort. I've attached a picture that might show something informative, though bubble doors are kinda hard to photograph, being clear. Best bet is to find a set on a plane in your area and check it out.
It looks like it gets you about an extra 3 inches of arm room. What is the cabin width if a 1 - 4?
Thanks for the picture. It does help.
Found this cool table that indicates the cabin width is about 39.5" at the shoulders, and about 34" at the seat:

I absolutely love my bubble doors. I fought with the decision too but took the plunge and never looked back. They do weight more but I think well worth it.
