This is exactly what I thought before I flew on the A380 in F, for some reason all the pictures and videos make it look bland. However it doesn't feel like that in the flesh, it feels much warmer.

There is is an argument to taking F in the nose of a 747 if you’ve not flown there before, otherwise the A380 is better in every way.
Worth changing your schedule by 3 days? No, not for me

I'm not suggesting you wouldn't be able to, I'm saying it's difficult to compare completely accurately without having tried both. On the point on styling, whilst the 747 cabin is undoubtedly more attractive, I would say in photos the dark 747 cabin actually looks slightly better than real life (I find it a bit 'disco' with all the blue lights), whereas the pale A380 cabin probably looks a bit better in real life and doesn't photograph well.
Styling is, in any case, quite low down my list of priorities in F and I would never take a more attractive F cabin with less space and less privacy just because it's more attractive.

The basource site shows 86J 747s are used on this route so you would be very unlucky to get an old 52J machine. See: British Airways Route Tracker
Still with the B747 and enjoy
