I honestly doubt that the UK (fifth largest economy in the world) will not be able to get a significantly better deal than Norway.
Just look at how many exceptions and special conditions they previously received from EU treaties.

One of the reasons they are such a large economy is because they are the financial gateway to Europe. If your global rank is conditional on having single market access to the EU, you can't really use that as a bargaining power for getting access to that same market... But yes, they should be able to negotiate a better deal than Norway.
