I'm in total agreement with Kacee and have to differ with porciscato a bit. I'd say BA fluctuates from say 3-7 on food and service, while UA goes 2-6 (maybe an occasional 7 on service but never on food), not much difference and neither one is worth staying up for. VS food is better and more consistent.
I'm looking forward to checking out both BA and VS new seats. I think Polaris (especially odd rows) is way better than either Club World or old VS, mostly for privacy and personal space.
Lounges are all pretty good, though I have a soft spot in my heart (head?) for VS lounges from the days when they were the only ones doing anything much beyond snack mix and well drinks.
