FWIW, until the new MEL/SYD lounges HKG was it for me! (for oneworld)
Yes, but they are made for different purposes. SYD is not that great for a transit.

They are not less than wonderful, they are both fantastic. We are just getting a bit spoiled. SYD F is beautiful with really nice design, restaurant food, great service by the Sofitel crew, Library, work rooms, Spa etc.
NRT F is also very nice with a great bar, good food (not as good as HKG or SYD but better than your Flagship Lounge at JFK or your Qantas Club in Hobart), workstations, etc.
Certainly all of them are better than anything you can access due to your Alliance status at the Star Alliance side of things.
