Thanks for the interesting summary. I haven't tried F on the BA A380 yet.
The toilet size confuses me. QF have F on the lower deck and I remember the toilets being pretty reasonable size.
And what is the rubbish with the stairs? Again, QF manage to let people use the stairs and I have never noticed any excessive noise. In practice almost noone uses them and if I go upstairs the crew there are often a little surprised to see me appear.
I would be well annoyed with (feeling like) being told to stay in my cabin if I was flying F, as far as I'm concerned a minor perk of being at the front is being able to walk off somewhere else if I feel like it. I can't imagine much foot traffic from only the F cabin, most of whom probably will stay put anyway.
