I think Intruder has it...I have just a few thousand hours on the 747-100/200 and then the 744, in both seats, and sat up top you sort of felt you were master of all you surveyed and certainly on those long flights over hours and hours of icy stuff .(Canada,
, Siberia) it was nice to know you had lots of backup/redundancy etc.
OTOH I have to be honest though and say my newer current steed (Boeing big twin) has a much better "office"......
and if you must ask...neither are the favourite aircraft I've ever flown... my heart is somewhere else..
yeah I know, ....he's a witch, burn him...
