You can't really compare CO with CX...the Asian carriers are leagues above American carriers when it comes to service, and I doubt the CX nonstop is similar in price unless you're talking about a full J fare on CO.
I guess we've just had different experiences...they were always there to fill my glass of wine before i had to ask, the FAs had a great work ethic, and if anything was bothering me they'd fix it immediately, or at least show a lot of effort to help out.
I wouldn't doubt that CX is fabulous, but the only way I'm able to sit up front is by upgrading a coach ticket. i've never paid >$2000 for a flight before nor do I have the means to do so anyway, so I'm happy with what I can get at this point.
