True…about just the seats themselves. However, to me, it is all about the configuration. The 777 seats are 4 abreast, closer to the noise from those using the galley and bathes you in galley lighting. Also, the 777 bunks tend to get warm, so its occupants tends to set the zone temp to what is usually too cold for me in the supernumerary seats.
Without hesitation, I prefer the 747 for long DHs as I always sleep better DHing on the Whale…..even with the risk of getting the left side. To each, their own.
