The CDG flight is going to have better overall serice because of the HKG-based crew onboard (LHR 744 flights are operated by LHR-based crew). Also you won't have to pay the GBP 80 service tax per person for premium cabins ex-LHR.
I;ve just realized the trap of 74A. I know my folks would well prefer the present J to the new J. so I guess I'm quite stuck against 252 in October.... Good luck for me with 250 i guess? or Paris... however, would it be harder to redeem Paris tickets as it's less frequent?
