Question Boeing B787 - How much better ?

Some say the B787 is 25% more efficient than an equivalent ?

How much better would a Boeing B787 be on a route, for instance: Manchester to Dubai, Abhu Dhabi or Bahrain?

Compared to an Airbus A330-200HGW ?

Would the aircraft cost(assuming the Airbus was either second hand or bought/leased at a preferential rate) Be part of the equation ?
What about operating costs ?

Some charter airlines believe it will revolutionise point-to-point destinations. Think of Gatwick or Manchester to some exotic destination.
Which, would have not been, flown, with any other type.

It is always difficult to get through the sales blurb and hyperbole.
