Absolutely. After trying WBC, I'm looking forward to trying the 777 lie-flats.

The problem with LHR is that it is too congested and thus prone to delays when the weather is bad, but it happens in LGW at peak hours too. LHR is much closer to the city in terms of distance as well as travelling time, it is cheaper to get to thanks to the tube connection:cheapest LGW to London centre is £10, and that would only take you to the station at peak time, from LHR, £3.50 at peak time and £2 off peak with an oyster card will take you absolutely anywhere on the tube network in London.
The one memory I have of LHR is that long walk from the gate to to immigration. I can't speak on connectability... yet that was one long walk!
