I think the quote "2:30 is just about enough for a intl - dom transfer at BOM so you'd have to rush a bit" is enough of an indication of the ease of transfer. With only one stop, and an easy transfer in HKG, the CX option seems far superior to me. While 9W may have a better Y product and service, CX is generally pretty good and the difference is sufficient to make me consider a transfer in BOM.
I have done both a couple of times. I will choose HKG for transit. Occasionally the walk is long and transit crowded. But same terminal. Great CX lounges. 9W poor third
