The biggest difference IMO, is that there is less foot traffic going past you on the 747 F whereas on the A340 the crew, both from F and C cabins, seem to walk up and down the aisle all the time. Also, I've noticed that sometime the crew would talk quite loudly when they are in the forward galley on the A340.
I completely agree, for me, the CX 747 F experience is much better. Just took the A340 a few days ago JFK-HKG and then 747 HKG-NRT-HKG-BKK. I can't tell you how much better I personally find CX 747 F. Much, much nicer, IMHO. YMMV.
