So is it correct to say that the 747 is "better" because it carries more volume thus it balances out the high volume low weight situation?

It depends how much cargo and how far you want to go. The heavier the cargo, the less fuel you can carry ie decreased range. A 747 can carry more cargo a longer distance. That's one reason the MD11 is so popular for freight.
