JL or CX First?

Hi!

I'm stuck between choosing a flight back from Asia to Europe for October. Now that BA have changed the BAEC, I think it's time to cash in a wodge of my Avios.

I have narrowed it down to First class, either JL NRT-FRA or CX HKG-LHR.

Now, NRT is more convenient (i'll be in Osaka at the end of my trip I think), but I live in London, so a feeder flight/train either way. The tax on the CX flight is £100 less. Both are reasonably timed day flights on the 777-300ER.

I've flown both F seats before, but both on short hops. I've used both F lounges in NRT and HKG before (possibly prefer CX in HKG over JL in NRT). I love Asian food, but prefer Cantonese over Japanese (just).

A more expensive, and less convenient option is MH F A380 from KUL.

So, can anyone weigh in and make some suggestions about which to take?

Thanks!
