Spoke with an Airbus guy recently and he acknowledged the 380 wasn't designed for much belly cargo. It's not until the 359 comes online that Airbus will have something to compete with the 773.
Also understand BA have modded their 388 for more cargo on LHR/JNB route. Not sure what the mod is or why others haven't followed suit.
