JAL F has a slightly smaller seat with less privacy, but the food is heads-and-shoulders better, and the service isn't even comparable (hint: JAL is better). CX wins on bed quality, seat comfort (by a nose), ground lounges, and IFE, while JAL wins everywhere else. JAL even has Wifi so 12+ hours don't have to be entirely productive.

I don't know WHERE this whole notion that JAL F is a downgrade from CX F, but I can't disagree more, and I dismiss anyone who says that they aren't at least in the same league.

Agree-- it's nonsense. And, I'm sure like many here, I've flown many great F-classes SQ, EK, EY, LH, NH, QR, TG, many others, and, I'd say JL F is better than CX F in some areas, worse in others, but they most certainly are in the same league.
