3. F and C menu are almost identical except for the small cup of soup, bigger salad, and different appertizer. Same wine and same beverage,
4. 747 IFE beats 777 IFE by a mile.
5. More BIS, RDM, GS qualifying miles
#2 would be the major reason for me, not only on UA but on any other carrier as well, except for AF which uses the upper deck for Y.

When it is configured for F cabin as is the case with LH, it feels even more special.
