I am sure you could disagree a bit more if you really tried.

All I am saying is that on such a long flight sleep is most important. You can sleep perfectly in BA J. Add to that that you will earn enough miles to MFU yourself 4 times to the US or buy one J one way to the US and the maths becomes simple (in my world). Maybe you even get upgraded or offered a cheap pro-active upgrade. Would not take that into account though.

If miles and status are completely unimportant I would choose EY too. If only to try out an unknown airline.
