how much counter length to seat 4

I have read all the posts on overhang for counter seating, but could not find anything about width.

So, how many inches of counter length per person for comfortable elbow room?

We will have a 7' long island. But I would really like to put end cabinets on each side, ideally 12' deep. That leaves me only 4' in the middle for counter seating. Am I looking at only enough space to seat 2? If so, I might have to give up my end cabinets, or make them really shallow. But I don't know how useful 6" deep cabinets would be.
