Not trying to pile on here, however...
We sat in the T3 CX F lounge for quite some time and then made our way to the T5 BA F lounge. There really is a substantial difference (CX>>BA). Given that we have an 8+ hour connection, and that we have to transfer terminals in any case, the CX option is very nice to have. I'm happy to spend an extra 5 minutes dealing with security to get several hours in a far superior "waiting room".
