Big is not always better. To me, I think the comfort features of the 787 will be better than the A380. I'll try to avoid the A380 because (1) I don't want to travel with that many people, (2) the extra time to board and deplane, (3) the extra people to process thru customs/passport control, and (4) the extra people and time needed to pick up baggage.
I believe the size/quantity of passengers is benefitial to the airline, but certainly not to the passengers.
