The diagrams on the map do make it look like there's more space. There's less overlap with the seat in front, and whilst the seat itself may not be any larger, the footprint does look bigger. Seems to be more room in front and on the sides.

At the BA engineering open day they did just over a month ago I pestered the interior team with questions on the -9 so I have a few little nuggets.
The Y class seats are confirmed to be wider. Being able to compare apples to apples with the new WT on the 77W vs. the 787, it's clear that the seats have been designed in different widths for different aircraft. Staff said they received so many complaints about the narrow Dreamliner seats that they've decided to narrow the aisles in favour of more seat width.

Likewise my outbound to AUS on 19 Mar also now showing as a 789. It appears to have changed from 1 Feb to the end of the Winter schedules, at which point it is currently showing as reverting to a 772.

Looking forward to the 789 on my flight to AUH in Q1 next year. Still showing as a 777, but I understand that the dates for putting the 789 on this route have not yet been confirmed.
