Those few people I know who have been on them seem to be very impressed, particularly with the exceptional quietness

Couldn't agree more !!!

Having flown Heathrow - Singapore - Heathrow by A380, the quietness on take off is only matched by the smoothness of the flight. I've flown many 747 (Srs 100, 200 and 400) routes as well as 777's, but they can't touch this.
For long haul, I'll certainly try and fly A380 before anything else currently in the skies.
