I peered past the curtain when I was in 7L DFW-PEK and AA 788 MCE and Y- look pretty bad. It's 9 across on a narrower plane, the MCE seats are narrower than on any of AA's 777s and the overall configuration is very dense. If you're small and able to focus a meditative state on the IFE to functionally leave your body you'll be fine, otherwise the 788s are worse than the 77W, 77D, 772 etc for coach.
