Dunno, I prefer the MEl one - an that's not being parochial.
I have never failed to get a seat at a table, and for those into the massages/treatments, I have often been offered them.
I can't say the same for the SYD one.

Should be more threads based on compliments 
Spot on. The SYD Flounge has greater style and better lay-out, but the MEL one has better access to services - as in not as crowded (at least on the times I visit).

AA lounges are - in my opinion - terrible. They are noisy, usually full and don't offer me much apart from free wifi and coffee. BA lounges are OK, their F lounges are quite good. The Concorde Rooms (CCRs) at Heathrow and JFK are excellent. The Mel F lounge on Saturday morning was splendid. Very clean, a lovely layout, great service and quality breakfast. Closest to a CCR equivalent product I've experienced in the oneworld network. I enjoyed it and wanted to pass on a compliment.
Hadn't realised that threads were being rationed m0hamed?

True, though I really fail to grasp what the awe of the CCRs are. In reality they are little different to T5 GF, with many similar items on the menu. In fact, apart from the Cabanas (which we chose not to use) and the layout I see little difference other than the restrictive access.
