not really... the 777xf is a natural evolution of 777 freighter offerings: more freight, less fuel, better range, all outclassing whatever the A350F can do...Be interesting to see if the 777xf guts the market demand for the standard 777 freighter, or will both models continue to be offered....Hard to make a case for the 350F when compared to either 777 offering, except for price negotiations.
