Have you flown CX since they added the suites in F (several years ago)? It is a very similar suite to BA except a newer generation of the seat (from the same manufacturer) and with some extra features such as the arm rest that retracts. And CX has 12 seats in the same space as BA has 14 ... which do you think has more privacy? CX also has the 2nd (guest) seat, and a larger dinner table than BA; so this is hardly a distinguishing factor. Once upon a time BA had good wine and food, but that has greatly diminished in the past year while CX continues to improve and now has better western and chinese food, not to mention wine that is 3 times as good as BA offers. Sadly I fly BA more often than CX so I am all too familiar with these differences. On most 744s the CX seat is markedly better than the BA seat (and there are 3 different F seats on BA and 4 different ones on CX, for those who care about those minor differences).
