Having been thru ICN in the past, I think 50 minutes should be adequate, even though there won't be much time to enjoy the OZ lounge... What do you think? Too risky?

Instead, should I take the earlier SQ 886 flight that departs SIN at 8:00AM? My only concern with this option is that the A/C won't be equipped with Spacebeds. I did a online flight search thru the Singapore Air website and A/C shows 772 Jubilee with 30 Raffles and 293 Econ which is the same config as flight 16.

What do you think? Safe to take SG886 with exepctation that A/C will have Spacebeds or take SG16 and be assured Spacebeds but risk the short connections time? What would you do?
If this is a normal trip, and not some two month vacation, I wouldn't take the risk of a 50 mn. connection. If your first leg is delayed an hour, you're out of luck.
