IMHO, assuming you have suffiecent miles, if you're travelling alone, C is fine. The F experience is best shared. You'll carry memories of a good F trip (LH and the FCT, TK and the red ladies, an LX F cabin all to yourselves) and a shockingly bad one too (UA and their carpet monster) long after you've forgotton about C.
