I'm just probably too used to the 777. I do like the 787, and never experienced the "cheap" (my opinion) build quality of the 350.
What you're used to is the absolute cacophony of noise that the 777 makes. It's just a lot noisier. The 350 is, in the cabin, the quietest aircraft in the fleet, better even than the 380. That's great in terms of headache-reductions, but you do hear people snoring a lot more, or odd ambient noise.

BJI's got a Delhi and back tomorrow, so I don't think much will happen until end of the week at the very earliest.
