IMHO QF has a lot to do to "earn" the premiums it charges for the poor seats on many of their flights (ex NRT is a good example, alternate QF 5 & 6 another [I know it's changing]) and I know they are not always alone in this.
It also totally frustrates me that it is so hard to get to Asia early with QF, so some early or overnight flights on "modern" equipment would help a lot.
Flying in to HKG ahead of a connection to Europe means a reasonably late arrival. I prefer more time on the ground, like delivered by CX 110 (HKG) or SQ 220 (SIN) but not as early as QF 31, althogh I have used that flight as I can always get into my hotel room in SIN withought the overnight penalty.
