IMO, it's not like comparing applies and oranges. It's more like trying to compare a shriveled raisin with a bottle of fine wine.

That's why I included the comment:
"IWhile the service [on QF] comes nowhere close to EK or CX, it is still far, far better than the US carriers flying internationally."
When it comes to award space between the US and Australia, just be thankful you found availability in J/F on the non-stops. AA/UA/DL all offer lie-flat seats on these routes, which should be the #1 priority.
