Looking in May you can get Garuda for only 45 pounds more via CGK and you get 1-2-1 J rather than 2-2-2 although credits to ST i guess... TK might win on catering but think travelling on my own i'd prefer no seat mate...

It's because many companies in Sweden do not allow their employees to travel in Business class and Sweden (and Norway and Denmark too) as a country has less hierarchy than rest of Europe, which leads low demand of Business class (not talk about First class).
Low demand often results lower price.

That's on the TK A333 ... on the 77W it is 2-3-2. Not my preferred premium cabin layout.

I know perfectly well that routes out of Scandinavia have cheaper business class fares in general because the company demand isn't there to fill the pointy end of the plane. And it's perfectly reasonable for affluent leisure travelers to be jealous that the cheapest J fares are almost always out of ARN, OSL and CPH instead of LHR, CDG, FRA, MAD, etc.

But I have to say the soft product on TK long haul is pretty good. There are better ones but in my opinion there are more that are worse. And the lounge in IST is pretty nice as well.

Yes, I certainly agree with that. I'm in Istanbul at the moment and will be enjoying the lounge later this morning before flying to LHR on a TK 321 in business class.
