I disagree. The differences are substantial IMHO. You can verify this by objectice data about seat width and seat pitch and by personal experience. The second best Y after the A350 for me is B777 in 3-3-3 configuration. Sadly these will be more and more replaced by 3-4-3. A330 would follow on third place, then B777 3-4-3 and clearly last is B787.
A good refeence for comparing and choosing seats is
www.theqatarsource.com. This webpage "warns" you about B787:
Quote:
The 787 was originally intended by Boeing to have eight abreast seating in Economy. The nine abreast seating on this aircraft means one, more, or all of the following:
Seats are narrower than average.
Armrests are narrower than average.
Aisles are narrower than average and aisle seat passengers are prone to being bumped.
Window seats are set tight to the fuselage.
