Not only a capacity increase but also a significant increase in comfort. The 77L has a 3-3-3 eco layout which is way better then the 3-3-3 layout in the 788.

I am hoping so hard that they send the R2D2-jet one day as that is also a 787-9! Would be nice to see it once more at BRU, it has been almost a year since its last visite...
