You can do a RTW on NZ! No excuses.

Thijsseh has summed this up quite nicely, IMHO.

OZ and NH are both very good with the long haul products. The seats are not as good as the SQ one but the service on both is fantastic. Note, OZ still has one unimproved plane flying around (a 747) which is usually doing the ICN-HKG tour but can show up anywhere in the network.

I have never flown this but from the pix I would say "no". It will be a good product, on par with the other airlines but nothing to worth spending too much time or money on just for the sake of it.

All in all, I found the new SQ J seat fantastic and the service very attentive. TK's food was much better, though, but the new J seat is still a slippery slope and it's really awkward to get to and from the window seat if there's someone in the aisle seat. The cabin crew were enthusiastic if a bit clumsy. So where are the other *A carriers wrt these products? Inquiring minds want to know...
SQ service can be so so and the seat is not everyones cup of tea. TK actually has 3 Jet Airways 77Ws which have fully flat seats like the CX ones.
