The 777-8 is mu good option as freighter, Although it has less cargo space, it would have more autonomy, the same thing happened with the 777 classics, the cargo version was based on the 777-200 of passengers and just now they will create the -300F because normally freighters have less autonomy than the passenger version and larger planes, unless they have 4 engines like the 747 cannot travel long distances. On the other hand the 737 MAX are a strong blow to Airbus as was the cancellation of the A321 to Qatar, I think the 737 they can give the size. Good post and very good information..
