… still thinking about it, 5/4/2013 - per this report from Yahoo News - http://news.yahoo.com/boeing-plans-build-worlds-longest-range-passenger-jet-063257587.html

But talks between Boeing and potential buyers have also generated interest in a 777-8X that would be a successor to the 777-200LR, the industry’s current distance champion, with a range of more than 9,300 nautical miles, people briefed on the talks said. The 777-8X, boasting a range of 9,500 nautical miles, would be designed for some of the world’s longest trips such as from the Middle East to South America. “They are offering an ultra-long range aircraft in the 777-8X,” said an industry source briefed on the plans. “It’ll be the longest range aircraft in the business.”
