There are a lot of global SQ routes that rationally would take priority over both SYD and MEL, but Australia is a key market for the airline and they basically have a monopoly on F seats to Asia ex-AU, and from in MEL in particular.

Actually the 4-seat cabin on 777-300ER is very pleasant. It's a shame not to have the second, rear facing, seat of the old Suites, but a better staff: passenger ratio and toilet: passenger ratio. It is also a very stylish cabin. I wouldn't lose much sleep over it, especially if you will get Suites for the rest of the journey.

You could argue EY and EK are the same wide spectrum. EY - 787/777 vs A380 apartments. EK 777 vs A380 (and new suites 777, which there are few).

I disagree, as both EY and EK have fully enclosed and spacious suites as their 'baseline' F. The SQ 777-style F seat is not comparable, in my opinion.
