hey fred, Of course airbus are ahead, Being have only just begun offering the plane for pre-orders, not even begun to build the 7E7, the A380 has been in planning for a long time now. Personally i find airbus interiors very plain and boring, Boeing really exceeded the levels with the 777 the way its designed is amazing to give the idea of as much space as possible, and again the A380 is all about packing people in like sardines.
