I was on 127 today, J was pretty much full and apparently the back of the plane was too. Didn't see how many were in F. The real benefit of F (apart from the service) is the flat bed, which isn't as much of a deal on a daytime flight. QF could use a few more CD's on their in flight system. The catering was good in J, lunch after departure and a snack, either a baguette or chicken on rice just before arrival. No probs with drinks, whatever you want, they'll keep em coming ^

As a silver, you may struggle with the upgrade, plats and golds will outrank you.

I'm writing this from The Wing, waiting for CX 888 at midnight, will get to compare that to the QF product.
