A380 vs 777-200 First Class Hard Product...Any differences?

KE experts....Can you please advise?
I am eager to try Korean Air from NA to ICN.
Am debating whether to go
DFW-ICN 777-200
or
ATL-ICN A380

From a seat perspective is there any difference between the two and, if so, what is the difference?
On SeatGuru I'm seeing about 5" width difference (advantage to the a380) even though they're both Kosmos seats. Is that accurate?
I live near DFW so the former routing is much more convenient.

ah, ok. Did a little more research. Looks like the best hard products in First would be, in order:
1. 747-8 / 777W
2. A380
3. 777-200

I think the A380 would be more interesting as they have a bar up front and two bars on upper deck (front and rear).

Quite a novelty.

I'm pretty sure there is no difference in seat width between the A380 and 772, as long as we're talking about the Kosmo Suite. (there are some 772s with an older F seat - you can check by booking class, R=Kosmo suite, P=older seat) However, the aisle is narrower on the 772 compared to the A380.

Overall I would simply take the more convenient option - there's not a whole lot between the two. Some people might even prefer the smaller F cabin on the 772.

Looks like we will be on a330 for ICN-LAX-GRU

Based on this review of the A380, it must be better.\
