Post B777 Fin position

I am aware of the various tradeoffs, but just wondering if anyone here knows the specific reason that the fin on the 777 is a bit forward of the end of the fuselage structure? Interfence issues is the only thing that makes sense to me, but moving it forward would appear to require in larger surface size (and weight) to make up for the lack of moment arm.
