New KE 747-8 or SX 777-300 for SFO-ICN Coach?
I posted this in the Korean destination forum, but realized perhaps it should have been placed here...my apologies to fellow FT members for duplication but anxious to get feedback on this matter. Trying to decide if KE's new 747-8 would be best option for coach seat on my December SFO-ICN RT, or if I should stick with something more well known such as Singapore’s 777-300ER or Asiana’s 777-200LR.. I have been able to find info on the new KE 747-8 business class but no reviews on coach experience for this long haul. What would you do if you were me? (This is my third time doing SFO-ICN but alas, I used up all my award miles for those previous long hauls, so this time it has to be coach!) Thank you for any advice you can give!

Singapore airlines code is SQ 
And Asiana doesn't have any 777-200LR.
I would choose KE 747-8 without hesitation. I flew CA 747-8 last summer in Y and it was s great experience. KE planes have a superb pitch in Y furthermore.
I saw pictures of Asiana 777s cabins, and they looked outdated in Y.
