I agree. Although both don't have the lie-flat seat, I prefer UA's business class seat with the lumbar support massage mechanism, which I haven't seen on other airlines'. I also think UA's IFE is better than NZ's.
NZ's food and wine are better in my opinion, especially with the selection of New Zealand wines. The food portion is just right, and fresh and tasty. Its colorful napkins still have a button-hole, which UA used to have but doesn't anymore.
I would also like to add that UA has the noise-cancelling headphone, but NZ doesn't.
