Yes; I am primarily concerned about the redeye return and the 'quality' of sleep on a 789 - don't terribly mind the daytime outbound... 77W from DFW sounds like a good option for that (with MCE).

... talking of which, how bad are the LGW-based 772 in Y if you can get a good seat? Thinking of doing LGW-JFK-AUS on outbound with 22hrs overnight free stopover in New York, which might be a nice treat!
