Default KLM or Emirates best to Japan?

Need to travel from north london to tokyo in the next two weeks.

Currently prices are KLM at £498, and Emirates at £665. Both these being
much cheaper than the other airlines (apart from air france, but with them
the stop over and change is *complicated* in Paris people say).

Do want to try to save some money, but not at the expense of a miserable
journey since its so long.

So which would you choose: KLM or Emirates please? Thanks

Paris is probably the least pleasant of the three hubs, but by no means
a problem.

KLM are using old 747's, probably "Combos". Emirates planes will be
newer and more comfortable (imho their economy is as good as most
premium economy). You might even get an A380 from London. And if you
haven't visited Dubai airport before, that's an experience well worth
it.
