The lounge SQ gave me was better than the MLL in YYZ for sure. The same with the boarding too. They let me sit and lie down on the exit row (it was empty and had to be paid normally ) when I showed them my boarding pass with the Star G. EVA has priority boarding too and the lounge is almost the same as their own. Actually I have used both and it is the same apart from a better shower room the business class side.
