I really share your overall enthusiasm for the 787, can't really pinpoint it but its just a lovely place to be, especially on a long haul flight. I've been fortunate enough to fly all my 787 legs in business (BA) so interesting to hear a view from a different pespective.
As for your flight to China, I'm presuming it would be with Hainan? I think their Y hard product is much of a muchness with other carriers, though such things as IFE and food may be limited. A colleague of mine used to be CA cabin crew and she always tells me to fly Hainan if possible as their service is well above the well polished but emotionless standard of other Chinese carriers.
