I'd take MEX any day on a 789 rather than a tired Mid J 744 (although maybe not so in Y - but I've avoided Y since FlyerTalk 
)
Shame to see Lima suspended, but seems Dubai will now have decent new (interior at least!) aircraft on all three flights

It could be a typo (788 instead of 789) because F seems unavailable right now on the route, as noted here:

Nice to see LAX getting a third frequency but bummed that IAH will be going back to an unacceptable J product.

Doesn't AeroMexico use the 788 on it's LHR rotation? If so, I assume the Y experience is exactly the same as with or similar to BA (in terms of seat pitch and width) making it a like for like competition.

Depends what metric is being measured. It's a fairly long sector and the current offering in Y provides old seats and a knackered old IFE system with postage stamp screens.
Whilst I'm yet to make it to the very back of a Dreamliner, I'd take it any day over some flickering (at best) Rockwell Collins dross.
