Those were and remain excellent diagrams, but on a point of pure pedantry, the A380 will use up far more of its hold space for passenger luggage than the 789, with baggage taking priority over cargo on all BA passenger operations. Therefore the ‘marginally greater’ you refer to won’t be so in practice.
