You forgot to mention the new (cheap) velvety BAg and the 3/4 matress.

The only pleasant seats on BA are the first row. Also AVOD on CX is great. I have not tried the new BA F, but I doubt that they use it on HKG. Also the wines are better than on BA.
I like the CX F cabin feel but think BA has done a good job by toeing the suites inwards and overlapping them. As a result they feel more private than in any other F suite I have been in. Of course the price of that is the narrow foot area - but I don't need to sleep with my legs apart.
More crucially the CX bed has this metal bar than digs into my hip. Thanks to FT I now know to ask for another duvet and sleep on top of one. Same applied to BA due to hardness of seat, but maybe the abbreviated mattress will solve that.
