On flight from LHR SYD we thought we would check out both lounges. QF Lounge was reasonably quiet and the food both pre-prepared and cooked to order was excellent. Another benefit was the cocktail bar 
Also the staff at the QF Lounge were very friendly and helpful which was very different to the staff in the packed BA Lounge which had a very poor selection of food. I would also disagree that the wine selection in the QF was inferior.
On the return trip we went back into the QF Lounge and were welcomed back by one of the ladies on the desk!
Much more room in the QF Lounge and the canteen like area works really well.

QF lounge staff tell me that BA reckon the refurbishment will be finished within a 4 month period, so if they work hard, should be up and running by September, so that will thank goodness make the QF lounge much quieter which we prefer and will be passing through beginning of October.
Time will tell.

Oh well not to worry, QF lounge on 2nd Oct and on the return 26th Oct. Much anyway prefer the QF lounge, but it will be interesting to take a peak at new BA lounge in Feb.^ We find the showers, staff, food offerings and bar staff so enthusiastic and go out of their way to help.^

Always preferred the QF lounge, it's just a little difficult if you aren't flying QF for flight updates (so tend to use the Changi app for that).
Even with the refurbishment of the BA lounge I doubt it'll be up to the QF standard which is excellent in my opinion.

Best OW in Changi? Probably. Good lounge? Meh.
