Boeing 787 cruise altitude
If you are cruising at FL480, you are either FL470B490 or don't know that RVSM ends at FL410. In the GLEX, 10.25 psid, gives a cabin at 4,500 when cruising at FL 450.

It's really pointless to compare the 767 with the 787 - we surely hope that it's better. Why not comparing it to an A330, which is the direct opponent on the market? I guess if it's 20% to the 76 then it would be about 10% to an 33, so not much...
