-1 EY Apartment doors are a couple of inches higher.

+1 CX does have the most comfortable seat, but the hard product besides the seat is nothing special.

Wasn't comparing EY, not enough data on that.

Either way lack of a couples suite aside from residence is the minus there.

On SQ I never had to use the button... They're all over you if they have the slightest חשש you need some help.
Indeed. Loved SQ service in R, J, and even Y.
Their Y service beats UA F service.

Only advantage of EK is the shower
And even with the shower, I'm afraid I'll not enjoy it.
I can't wrap my head around how to take a shower in 5 minutes.

Only advantage of EK is the shower from what I can tell.
Service, space, seat, and bed are all inferior.
I found the service on EK to be just as good for me as SQ, I don't need the FA to kneel down to me. In SQ, your confined to your suite, in EK you can hang out in the Lounge areas, in F and J, and even in the lavatory

That's true.
The one reason I love even LH over SQ is the spaciousness.
As cool as a suite is, it has the downside of feeling closed in a cell.
First world problems I guess.

Sometimes the privacy is nice. Can be a little off putting sleeping with people watching for some people.

Need to be more specific. Definitely wasn't true for the 747 I flew on each.

I understand why CX F as a whole is highly rated, but there several airlines I'd easily rank higher.

Put them in order of having flown them.

I took LH J as well, but that was intra Europe and was just a blocked middle seat.
