The better soft products, like you agreed, is being considered overall which count against the CX F seat advantage. That's why I said, depending on personal preference, some may reasonably rate NH F higher than CX F overall because NH F has a better soft product overall and arguably, better and more attentive service. Their snack list for example blows CX completely away, it's not even close. Even the quality of the First meal, there is no comparison that NH wins hands down. CX FA in F simply doesn't comapre to the attentiveness of NH FA. So while the CX F seat is a little bit bigger and newer, how much more space does one really need? The screen size is almost the same and they are both 180 degree flat beds and the NH F's armrest drops to form a wider bed when flat so from a comfort standpoint, CX new F offers little advantages over NH F. So when soft products and services are factored in, in my opinion, NH F is much superior, not to mention they serve real Oscietra caviar imported from Russia, not the farmed caviar like CX does.
QF new suite is the future, not really the seat that you are likely to experience in flying with them today.
Agreed that NH is overall superior to CX. My comments were just about the seat itself.
