Recommended CX flight YVR-HKG in J?

Which is preferred in terms of flight experience? The 744 (CX889) or the 343 (CX2869)?

Ok, sorry lol. I like 889 better because it's a 744, and the upper deck is more private for a good night's sleep. And at that departure time there's not much traffic at YVR, so only BK is open and no queues at immigration and security. Flying westbound at midnight helps fight jet lag as well. ^

I reluctantly admit to liking the 343 despite being from Boeing-land. I like the middle aisle seats 2-2-2 and never having anyone climb over me or having to climb over someone else. The service seems to be all the same. I prefer arriving at night than in the morning too.

While I do like the middle seats on the 343 as well, I feel that row 86 on the 744 is superior.
