Size of A380 upper deck

How roomy do you think is the upper deck of the Airbus A380?

A picture of the upper deck of the first plane - with a complete, 8 abreast Economy row in picture, but far in the background:

Do you fancy spending hours in that window seat?

A closer view of a partial row:

For comparison, an Airbus 340-600 prototype in a comparable stage of completeness:

Do A340-600 and A380 use water tanks of equal size?
I noticed that both pictures have 4 rows of tanks and thought if they provide equal scale.

The A340-600 has much narrower aisle in the middle - but then the side tanks are a bit farther from the wall.


A part of the A380 has been made more habitable - with Business seats:

For comparison, one example of a 340-600 Business Class in service:

So - which one do you think is the more roomy and comfortable?
