So it will mean seats will be narrower on the 777 (by 1.5"), aisle will be narrower by 6" each or combination of both seat and aisle being narrower.

I would guess that the aisle on 777 would be a little narrower to keep the seat configuration the same. Cheaper to build one type of seat than 2 types of seats that are physically slightly different.
