Agreed. And the EK lounge in HKG is nothing to write home about. Constantly packed. I've been flying CX recently and have been using The Pier a lot. Very nice lounge - but not a patch on the CCR.
I would only use the EK lounge in HKG as a last resort...and while I wont admit this over on the EK board, I'm happy to do so here

Also, while I have come to accept the bling onboard, I simply find the decor of the EK lounges (when compared to CX/BA/QF) simply ghastly...
