Agree. Don't know the new LH 'F'. The old 'F' on LH is from a hard product point of view quite similar to SA 'C'. But the service is definitely better. And of course there is the FCT (or FCL) in FRA which is an experience in itself.
But it could cost you 50% more miles and that might trip up the OP.
