I know both products well since this is my commute (LHR-SFO and LHR-JFK) at least twice a month. I find the VS herringbone configuration to be inferior to others like BR and CX. The seats are also very very hard and privacy is an issue since they have the weird semi-transparent plastic divider.
Having said that, the 787 is a wonderful aircraft and is much quieter than a 7x7 on DL.
My general preference is to leverage the VS lounges but fly on DL metal. Either way, you're going to have a pretty good experience.

Once the change is fully put in, it's highly unlikely they would NOT let you change to Saturday.
Plus you should be HOPING for a change on the return as well to be able to jump on the one stop CDG/SEA/BOI routing. eliminating the extra stop at no expense.
You've got a long time and several more changes are likely to occur...probably nothing as dramatic, but if you're vigilant you can make it work to your advantage.

To recap:
Originally BOI/SLC/LHR on 11/12 and CDG/LHR/SLC/BOI on 11/18. Schedule change had us BOI/SLC/MSP/LHR on 11/12 and CDG/LHR/SLC/BOI on 11/18 with a missed connection SLC/BOI. Called Delta and got on BOI/MSP/LHR and CDG/SEA/BOI coming back.
I tried to get on Virgin going to London as there was a one stop option BOI/SEA/LHR, but agent said no award availability on VS.

This route has now been dropped completely in the winter, per airlineroute.net:
Those with existing bookings in winter season will need to check for rebooking options.
