LHR-BKK CW (BA) vs. LHR-HKG F (BA) HKG-BKK F (CX)

Hi all.

So, I have to admit, this is my first time going to the far east, as 95% of my travel is TATL and 4% intra-europe. the remaining 1% is stuff like this.

On Tuesday Im off to BKK for a week, currently got some BA tickets in CW straight from LHR, but Im considering changing those to F tickets on BA to HKG and then on with CX to BKK in F.. Ive never flown CX F, so what Im looking for is personal opinions, is the experience of doing CX F worth the extra stop versus going straight to BKK in CW ? (Unfortunately, no F availability for MFU on the direct flight, otherwise I would have done that). It would be on a 777 HKG-BKK, and Im not too big of a fan of the triple 7s.

(oh, and thanks to whoever it was (my memory seems to have slipped right now) that recommended the buggy + priority arrivals service at BKK in another thread, booked through them at everything seems smooth.. especially since the 15:20 arrival in BKK on my original flight might be a bit cramped with other arrivals as well)
