777 vs. 789 to FRA

Don't usually fly AC, but on the way to BLR, seems to be the best option with a connection in YYZ and FRA. I have the option on the earlier AC flight on a 777-300 or the later one on a 789. Even the later flight will give me a 2 hour connection in FRA. Could also theoretically get on the LH flight.

Any opinions out there? The 777 seems to be 10-across (are they all that way now on AC). My thought is between a 10-across 777 and a 9-across Dreamliner, the seat width probably a moot point as its the same or close enough that its probabyl not noticable? And then the advantages would probably all be with the '87 (newer entertainment system, I think, better climate/preassuraztion, etc. in the cabin, etc.).

Any opinions on this from those have flown Y in both aircraft on AC?
