(PressZoom) - SEATTLE, Jan. 04, 2007 -- The first Boeing [NYSE:BA] Next-Generation 737-700ER ( Extended Range ) completed final assembly and rolled out of the Renton, Wash., manufacturing facility Jan. 2. The airplane receives a painted livery and goes through preflight testing before delivery to launch customer ANA ( All Nippon Airways ) in early 2007.
The Next-Generation 737-700ER is inspired by the Boeing Business Jet and is designed for long-range commercial applications. Cabin configuration is flexible, and may range from a 48-person, all-business-class cabin, as an example, to a more traditional 126-seat count to suit the airline's needs. The high-performance derivative can fly up to 2,145 nautical miles farther than the current 737-700. With up to nine auxiliary fuel tanks and optional Blended Winglets, the Next-Generation 737-700ER is capable of flying 5,510 nautical miles. _________________

Why would you buy one of these over the 783? Wouldnt the 783 be a better aircraft to buy?

Less seats over longer range. Same reason why you choose the B787 over the A380. Besides the 737ER must be less priced than the 738. Also a good choice for BBJs as mentioned in the article _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld
