Airbus A380 vs Boeing 747: Comparing Flight Experience

I've been thinking a lot about the flight experience on the Airbus A380 compared to the Boeing 747, and I'm curious to hear what you all think. Both these giants of the sky have their own unique features, but when it comes down to the best flight experience, which one do you think takes the crown?

Why is your text such a light grey in color?

I dont know whether flight experience means from th flight deck or as passenger .
I spent many, many hours being transported around the world on the 74 and thought it very nice-perhaps the L1011 was a smoother ride at times due to its fancy wings . The 744 was amazing- for someone who had to travel to Asia a lot and going non-stop from SIN or HKG back to London was a huge achievement.
But, and perhaps this is coloured by a very recent trip on Qatar 380 ( i have also been on SQ, BA and EK versions and from a passenger point of view it really is Queen of skies, comfortable , quiet , with excellent cabin environment so i would have to say from a personal point of view the 380 is the best long haul airliner yet built from a least this passenegrs point of view. I must also give kudos to Qr for their on board product which was outstanding unlike their booking and other IT systems as well as call centre staff who were barely fir for purpose . I mean having to repeat one letter in my booking ref because the agent count understand N , N for november ot just plain November no less than eight times was indicative of their competence, they do try though.
