Yeah, I fail to see much benefit in a non-stop flight. A couple of hours knocked off the journey sounds good at first, but when you realise that means 20+ hours without a break to stretch the legs, the appeal starts to wane.
Add to that that you will get the legendary QF level of service, and I think I will stick with EK.
