Default b-777 under the microscope

I was comparing the profile of the DW 777 with the GJ 777 and noticed that the GJ mold accurately reflects the top portion of the fuselage that slopes down into the cockpit area. The DW slopes gradually and uninterrupted while the GJ has a "stop" and then a slope down towards the nose (hope that makes sense... it's 2 AM and I'm still at work)... anyway, GJ got it right !

I know what you mean! Anyways, I've always though it looked almost like an error in Boeing's original design. It's just weird. The L-1011 does it to, just not so severe. If I owned an airline, I wouldn't buy any planes with any obvious "kinks in the roof".
