What I don't understand is why they are only checking the ones in the '87. Honeywell said there are over 6000 in service. Seems we should be checking them all.

Maybe the bad lot was just installed on the 787, but, who knows, it may not just be a bad lot? If there is only 6000 out there, it would be a great idea for Honeywell to issue a service bulletin instructing owners and maintenance crews how to check their ELT's for damage..
