Korean A380 Business Class

I'm going to be flying Seattle to Jakarta next year (business class) - and Korean is a likely option.
I can fly Jakarta - Incheon - Seattle (A330 to 777). However, for the same price I can fly Jakarta - Incheon - LAX - Seattle. Incheon - LAX is an A380. I'd really like to try an A380, but with the extra distance and transfer, it'll be 8 hours longer (26 hours vs. 18 hours) (great circle route from LAX to Incheon goes right by Seattle so it's an extra ~2000 miles to go through LAX).


So, how wonderful is that full upper deck business class on the KAL A380? Is it worth the penalty (did a quick check, looks like the actual business class seats are the same on the KAL A380 and 777 so seats should not be a factor).
