Our recent trip with LX was so bad that we are willing to fly further to change in IST if we ever go to LA and also willing to pay $100 more for TK.

LX is good in C with their new C but they have forgotten about Y. Old aircraft, old equipment. We had a IFE with B&W screen, seats broken during during return LAX-ZRH. Service is ok but TK uses better product. Just the amenity kit for TK Y looks nicer than the one on LX C.

I think LX is very focus on their C and F. So you won't get much out of LX Y. On the other hand TK is expanding, and they are not as savvy as LX. So in my opinion you get more out of TK Y than LX Y.
If you go Y, I would do TK, nice food and they have new premium eco, that looks quite nice. If you do C, I would do LX.
But have you looked at one of the middle eastern carriers.
