787 and A350

I think this is the most appropriate forum for this question, but apologies if I have got that wrong.

I have been curious lately; I believed the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 were pitted against each other in the "long thin" route market. But it seems that many airlines have placed orders for both types. Can somebody please enlighten me on why this would be? Surely the types more or less replicate each other - if you need a mix of seats you just buy the 787-8 and 787-9 for example.

Looking forward to some enlightening responses,

XSB
