The A380 would likely be better in economy than the 747, but both flights are long affairs (and I just flew SQ 21 a couple of days ago, I have some inkling about long flights

). In my mind if flying economy, I want to get from point A to point B as absolutely quickly and painlessly as I possibly can. DFW works better than LAX for almost all origins east of the Rocky Mountains in this regard for sure.
I agree, with JFK being an exception. In economy, I'd rather take QF LAX-JFK than AA DFW-JFK.
