I would wait after the start of 2017 to hear anything from BA and routesonline before knowing which 787 they will deploy. However, I'm speculating that BA would bring in the -8 regularly for the summer and the -9 for repositioning or additional premium demand (though we won't see that happen then). Besides, the -9 will be used for replacing existing 772 long-haul flights with F demand (BOS, KUL, NRT, IAH, PVG) and route expansion (i.e. SJC, SCL).
Personally I do share your same optimism with the -9 so I totally agree with that.
