Sorry, wasn't clear.
Coming home from Paris to Miami choice is :
788-Boeing 787
or
772-Boeing 777
(and then connecting to MCO)
I've been reading about the conjoined seat on the 788 and wasn't sure about the seats if feeling the movement from another passenger is still an issue.

I would choose 788 as they are less likely to MX. Everytime I fly 772 I pray it doesn't MX and ruin my travel plans. Especially when I have a separate ticket on another carrier.

I'd choose 772 without hesitation. All 788s have my personal least favorite seats in the fleet -- the reverse/forward Concept D seats. At least with the 772, you have a chance of the superior Rockwell Collins seats.

I agree with this one. While it's not guarantee that you'll get the 772 with the good seats, you are guaranteed to have the bad seats on the 788. Also, the 772 cabin is a little larger lending itself to slightly more spacious seats.

Perhaps it’s because I know that the 777 is wider than the 787, but I’ve always felt I had more room in the 777. The 787 may be somewhat quieter, but with my Bose noise cancelling gear, noise has never been an issue on either for me.

where did you get that. Only the new 787-8 will get the super diamond. The older planes will stay the same with zodiac with no plans of refit for the time being
