Delta International with Economy Comfort vs Korean Air Economy

Hi all. I'm booking a flight from LAX-BKK and since my Platinum status allows me free economy comfort I need to trade the following:

- Flight Delta w/ Econ Comfort
---- Total flight time 25 hours (3 legs)
---- Additional 1800 MQMs over Korean flight
---- Power in seats (all international legs economy comfort)
---- Seats (pitch/width): 36-38''/18.5''

- Fly Korean w/ Econ
---- Total Flight time is ~21 hours (2 legs)
---- Ticket is >$350 more expensive to get qualifying class for Delta mileage credit... lots of Q class routes avail for cheaper but they don't accrue Delta miles
---- Seats (pitch/width): 33-33''/18''

Due to connection timing I wont have time to meaningfully use their lounge access on either airline.

I've flown both airlines and if I was non-econ comfort I'd go Korean hands down for the service and larger standard econ seats. The Delta econ comfort seats however are slightly larger and have power in the seats. The A-380 on Korean has great in flight media but I will probably just plug my PC in and watch movies on that regardless of the airline.

Thoughts? I booked the delta route and have it on hold for 24 hours to be safe.
