Emirates - the right choice or not...??!

Hi,

I'm a pretty frequent traveller in J - usually on North American and South American routes from Europe... I've got a run out to Shanghai later this month which i've booked up with Emirates - and having read some of the notes on here now i'm starting wonder if it was the right choice... It sounds like i'm going to be having a pretty bad time in some rather old fashioned seats and elderly technology... Can anyone put my mind at rest??

26/8 EK006 LHR to DXB
27/8 EK304 DXB to PVG
03/9 EK303 PVG to DXB
04/9 EK001 DXB to LHR

OK - so my last leg is A380... But the others... i've got listed A340's, 777's and 777ER... Can anyone make me feel slightly better for the cash spent on these flights?! I figured Emirates would be flat beds all the way and top-notch IFE - but reading this and words like "sleeperettes" and "TV and Radio" makes me think of 1980's United Airlines....??!
