They roughly have the same width, and I find the A330 to be irritatingly narrower than the 777, and I have a normal frame. The legroom is not great either (compared to 777, which has space galore), and made worse by the IFE box and the leg rest.

The EK Y seats in 777 though is pure pain, and I would take any QR configuration anytime. If the QR 787 is the new version of the EK 777, then it's really a shame... I think I'll try at least once - because I have had consistently good service on-board in QR Y. The customer service/call centers meanwhile, as constantly repeated in these forums, is 3-star quality.
