No, 2i1narrow does not get better greens than 1i2wide.
Let us compare two races. The first is a bi-immune: it takes grav and temp immune and rad 66-86 (20 wide). The second is a single-immune; it takes grav immune, temp -128-128 (64 wide) and rad 16-84 (68 wide). The single-immune hab I just described costs 9 points less than the bi-immune hab I just described, so I'm actually being kind to the bi-immune.
The bi-immune will have the following proportions of planets:
13.13% 75% green or better
4.04% 50-75% green
4.04% 25-50% green
28.28% eventually yellow
50.51% permanently red.
The single-immune will have the following proportions of planets (according to Christian Raebild's handy hab calculator):
13.3% 76% green or better
15.8% 51-75% green
18.3% 26-50% green
2.9% 0-25% green
49.0% eventually yellow
0.7% permanently red.
Taking 2i has not traded more greens for better greens. Taking 2i has merely gotten the same amount of good greens and converted most of the decent greens and bad greens into reds. It is strictly a downgrade.
For comparison, I'll show the much more balanced trade-off between 1i and 0i. The 0i takes grav 0.27-3.68 (64 wide), temp -128-128 (64 wide) and rad 16-84 (68 wide). The 1i takes, for the same price, grav immune, temp -104-88 (48 wide) and rad 55-85 (30 wide).
(I'll use the hab calculator for both, this time.)
The non-immune will have the following proportions of planets:
2.6% 76% green or better
7.8% 51-75% green
15.0% 26-50% green
11.0% 0-25% green
62.3% eventually yellow
1.3% permanently red.
The single-immune will have the following proportions of planets:
4.4% 76% green or better
5.2% 51-75% green
6.3% 26-50% green
1.1% 0-25% green
36.1% eventually yellow
46.9% permanently red.
Here, you can see that the single immunity did increase the number of initial 75%+ greens by 70%, at the cost of 0-75% greens. This is an interesting balance. Single immunity vs. bi-immunity is not; wide single-immune habs have more of every kind of green tha
