Pier v. Wing - Wing is more open but yes also open to PA announcements etc.. Pier is under the departure level so quieter. I was there 10/13 and seriously there were more attendants and service people than PAXs. I may be wrong but seems Pier is always less crowded as near the end of the 60-68 part of terminal.
Haven't been to Wing (assume it is the same)for a couple of years now, but Pier had at least 20 PC with internet access in a separate area (to the right as you enter) near the shower area and toweards the F lounge.
As for marble - my asthetic is much more towards the modern, and although i don't necessarily go for marble, Wing/Pier I think are finished impeccably, nice looking and comfortable seating (more so that Concorde Room), amenities are first rate, and service (as with CX always) very eager to please and nothing too much trouble.
The only possible enhancement I can think of is a MB Spa equivalent amenity.
