Wow the horse is being beaten dead on this one (and being run over repeatedly.)

I think everyone can agree that CX F is a solid product. It might be the best for you because you live in HKG, you might like Chinese food or it's the fastest way to get from point A to B (which is the purpose of travel for most normal people), which is fair enough. Those are important considerations which definitely tip the balance on what is the "best product" for you. I personally am not a huge fan of suite products since I don't like the boxed in feeling - I like a half-open concept where one can enjoy the space and raise a privacy shield when desired (a la LH or QR A380 F.) I'm not sold on the idea my feet have to go into a cubby since I sleep with my legs sprawled out. But that's personal.

But if you remove personal considerations aside, there are definitely piece by piece elements that different airlines do better. For instance, it's hard to dispute LH excels at their ground service or that JL has amazing catering ex-HND/NRT. Every F product I've tried has had its high and weak points - I have yet to find the one who does everything perfectly on a consistent basis.
