While BA F is nowhere near as nice as CX F, it's still much nicer than CX J. Since you don't say that your choice was influenced by cost or other considerations, I'm surprised that you would make this choice, although if you are making decisions and recommendations to others without knowledge of the alternatives, I suppose it isn't surprising.
And I have...
As stated quite clearly, I have not flown the new JL product but have experienced their soft-service inflight and on the ground. CX have a very good product, which in my opinion (and I would assume a few others) would rival other's F product (hence the reference to BA). Therefore, suggesting to the OP that the CX experience is very hard to beat.
In the essence of transparency to my BA reference, cost was not a factor. It was a one-way fare and CX J was approximately NZD$3,500.00 more than BA F (CW wasn't available). Having flown BA F and CX J/F several times, I chose CX J (F wasn't available, it wasn't me paying for the ticket, and I have no loyalty to any airline other than NZ). With some of the work I do, it is imperative that I travel as comfortably as possible and BA F doesn't do it for me.
