Big Jets - Weather Deviations

Hello guys!

I fly a small business jet (Learjet) and I have a doubt on meteorological deviations for the ones who fly big jets (like the 747 or 777).

In my aircraft, I deviate even from the minor formations, to avoid stress on the airframe and also for the passenger comfort (wich is a great deal in business aviation), not to say to avoid icing.

Do the 747/777 guys deviate as much as we do or their "mighty" aircraft are strong enough to face some mod/sev turbulence with no bad stuf for the passenger and airframe?

Thanks!
