I guess you
are a Rebel PPRuNer. <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> You do realize almost everything you say about the Sonic Cruiser can be used to dscribe the A3XX five years ago.
If the Sonic Cruiser is built, it will not directly compete against the A380. Each has a different role in the marketplace. Nonetheless, I do believe the Sonic Cruiser will have a bigger impact than the A380, that is, if Boeing does build the Sonic Cruiser.
