Hoping for some advice on the LHR - NYC route please.

I'm taking my parents to NY for their 70ths and between my partner and I both using a 241 we have the choice of 4 Business class seats on a 747 to JFK or 2 in business and 2 in first on a 777 to EWR on the day flight out?

What are people's thoughts on the two options? Is there a significant difference between say Upper Deck on the 747 in Club and 1st on the 777? My parents have never flown either Business or First so would all be a new experience for them (the plan would be to give my folks the 2 1st class seats if we went that route)

I've also got a bit confused about the current state of play of the IFE on the 747s. Is this likely to be an old dated system or has the IFE been retro fitted on the LHR - JFK route?

Thanks for your help
