We will have to wait and see, AB might have levelled the Neo like they have with the A330 freighters ? That would definitely need the blister which can't be seen on the renders. I am hoping that AB will use my design idea I sent them a few years ago, larger tyres on the nose landing gear leg

A slightly nose-down attitude is of no consequence on passenger planes. Why spend money to change it ?

I have a quick question - reading A330 production forum on a.net saw Karel's post that the first A330neo being assembled is A330-941. Does it mean it has the same engine as A350-941?

A more detailed answer is that the A330-neo comes with the TRENT 7000, an engine based on the TRENT-1000 TEN, the newest version of the RR 787 engine. The T7000 however is somewhat different from the engine it is based on : it is said to receive some improvements from the TRENT XWB powering the A350, though I don't know whether it is significantly more advanced than the TRENT-1000 TEN.
