When shall Emirates get their first midhaul, 517 seat frame?

Apparently the next aircraft (delivery date, Nov 15) will have the 517 seat config which would make sense since they will be flying it to London.

The Emirates A.380 will be operating the EK001/EK002 flight, arriving London Heathrow at about 11.35am and departing at about 1.45pm.

According to the Emirates website the first flight (into LHR) should be on 1st December.
