767-300 has 193-244 seats
767-400 has 235-256 seats
777 has 283 seats
Even the 737-900 has 173 seats.
I know this is the short 787, but I thought it would be bigger.
Either way, I'm not flying it. I'll wait a few years for them to work the bugs out.

The 787-8 is longer, wider, and heavier than a 763. Even more so for the -9/-10. Simply looking at seat density is not reasonable, and I know you know that.
Factor in the HUGE and widely spaced pax windows, the HUGE cockpit windows and drooping nose cone, the big diameter engines, and you have an illusion of an aircraft that is not as big as it really is.
You may or may not have had an opportunity to crawl around the 787 yet. I have, and it is definitely a big plane...that looks small.
