CX aircraft type

[cmon0005]

Next month i'll be flying from HKG-SIN on CX in Y, there are many flights that day and many aircraft choices.
Out of these aircraft which would you choose based on your CX experience? Flight is ~4hours.

Choices are:
*A330-300
*777-200
*A340-300
*777-300ER
*747-400

Some of those will have a regional config, and I thought their regional config in Y wasn't as good as international (old seats), but I haven't flown them in so long I don't know. But based on that I'd be wary of A330-300 (one config has regional) and the 777-200. Seat Guru suggests the 747-400 and 777-300ER (both without PE) have the older Y seats that slide the bottom forward rather than lean back, and while it's only 4 hours, this could impact comfort.

Don't forget that CX aren't strangers to ac swaps on these regional routes, based on that I'd pick schedule ahead of ac type

agree, there is a huge difference in product even down to the 777 and 330 range and they do tend to do the switcharoo alot ...CX......
