From a bang for the buck standpoint, I'd expect some 330-300s and 777-300s, both offer top of the line low CASM, with the 330 having the advantage of being nearly 40% cheaper than the 777...

Quite true. From a Point to Point perspective these jets will fill some of the need, but the 789 or 787-1000 will probably be our aircraft of choice. I'd say sometime after 2015.
