747 or 777 to JFK?

Hi all,
I plan on using my 2-4-1 Amex to NYC in September in CW and there is availability on the 0179 in a 777 or the 0183 on the 747 aircraft - is there any received wisdom as to which is the better club world? I am Gold so can book seats. The 777 arrives at a slightly more convenient time of 9pm v 10:30pm but I guess the airport / roads might be quieter later anyway.

Will try the LCY flight on the way back which will avoid the LHR passport queues and be one for the bucket-list too.

Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

If you can get UD seats then definitely take the 747. Otherwise not a huge difference between the LD 747 and the 777 - both are pretty terrible.

Thank you - is there any way of knowing if I can get the UD before I book?

Doesn't the website let you select seats during the booking process before you pay?
