I'm with you here!
One of the reasons I'd generally (unless I run into that paying for J seat selection as an OWE glitch) choose BA over AF would be higher probability of flying on the A380 over the 777 on the TATL route. While of course personal preferences vary considerably, I've always preferred the rear (optimally, the last J seat on the upper deck) where you have less traffic, can always see what's going on and instantly know when it's a good time to use the lavatories.

Especially as it is/was commonplace for people to book flights to a destination just because of the A380.
While I understand some of the rationale on why the A380 hadn't been as universally embraced as the smaller jets, it's my preferred aircraft to fly on long hauls. It's too bad, since I'm gonna miss it when it invariably gets phased out.
