Finnair MD-11 vs SAS Airbus A340 in business

I am planning Thai vacation and have to choose TLL-BKK-TLL between Finnair MD-11 and SAS A340 business class. Price is approximately same, longer layover in Stockholm sucks though. Which would you recommend for comfort, food etc?

Ay

New AY C beats new SK C

Easy connection: HEL favoured, probably much less walking - but they might be using bus-transfers... And what were the actual connection times?
Environmental concerns: HEL favoured, not as much "backwards" flying.
Lounge: HEL favoured, non-Schengen long-haul lounge.
Metal: SK has AVOD IFE? AY does not have that, otherwise no differences in comfort.
Service: probably no significant differences.

This was a double posting but you probably will get different answers and recommendation in the SK-thread.

On every other aspect I'd prefer AY here but SK has much quieter plane on this route. A big plus for some, others couldn't care less.
