Given that the differences between the lounges are pretty minimal, and the Business Lounges are much larger, even I, as a Senator, regularly choose to go to the Business Lounge.

That lounge is no great spot and its somewhat out of the way, IIRC. Also be aware if you need any internet time to bring the family jewels in payment;can be as high as 6 euros for 30 minutes thanks to the robber barons at vodaphone.

On another note, I seem to recall some 7 years back, LH had a lounge with a quiet, dark sleeping room. Is that still around? I haven't had success finding it lately; FYI the SEN lounge I usually end up using is the one not too far from passport control.

It's around the entrance area to the C Concourse gates (post-security).
Aim for Gates C1 to C3 and you won't be far off!
It is signposted (though not as prominently as the LH lounges).

If you head toward the C gates you will eventually hit a security check-point / hand baggage X-ray. Just after than you turn right and you're looking at the UA lounge entrance. RCC on the left, First lounge on the right. If you want a shower get them to you add you to the list as soon as you go in.

thanks again Dambus I will likely head in there as since I had surgery I need to stay well away from smokey atmospheres.
Check out the post I made about KLM FD ref KLM/Continental sharing, actually positive.
As I understand the FD / ST thing now they are pretty strict about the benefit you had of being PE and using any lounge regardless of airline flown and I dont try, depsite all I have said about KLM I dont like to use the lounge unless I am actually flying with them.
