I love PM departures from Asia to SFO...It really helps me adjust to the eastern time zone quite well. I sleep lightly on the overwater flight, relax at SFO for a few hours, then zonk out on the domestic 777 lie-flat redeye to ORD. Right now, despite PVG-ORD being very convenient, I invariably take the PVG-SFO midnight departure now for this same reason.
However, I have absolutely zero interest in the new westbound flight, personally. Despite a Polaris seat, I just can't hit the ground running like that. It's generally too early to get into a hotel and HKG is not one of those cities I want to wander around in when wearing the same clothes I'd been wearing for the previous 24 hours or so.
But even so...Yay! First new flight to HKG in a while.
