Better F lounge than NH in their home base. Service and catering slightly better on NH but OZ is no slouch.
You didn't read my 2nd paragraph. I did say LH FCT and new F on the 744 is good.
While NH on the ground is nothing special, food on board and service are miles ahead of LH F.
You look at the big picture to choose a product, I mean how many hours are you going to stay in the lounge compare with how many hours are you inflight ? Ask yourself would you choose LH just because of FCT in oppose to 14 hours flights in excellent service, food, and wine with SQ/OZ/NH/TG ?

Partially true, it is about plane types (380/345/77W), not about the routes.
You can't get SQ J for SQ11/12 NRT-SIN because it is 380, and you can't get SQ 1/2 HKG-SIN because it is 77W.
