....in fact, J on 73Z is probably the most unpleasant of any bird in the CX fleet, it's oversized plus there is the dreaded middle seat in J which is exclusive to the 777-300 and 777-200 regionals.

If CX achieves those 27 extra seats capacity by downsizing J and thus making the cabin a little more pleasant, I'm all for it. The plane already is full blown cattle car status, 27 extra Y seats in favor of fewer J seats might actually make for a nicer ride. Y will hardly change and J could actually feel quite a bit nicer.
But with respect to 73Z, 2-3-2 in J is still 2-3-2 no matter how many rows you cut...
