Panther platform vs. Lexus LS 430

I love the floaty, cushy feeling and comfortable interior of the Crown Vic LX. That being said, I've been tempted to look into Lexus LS430 as well. I already have a Crown Vic and definitely do not want to sell it. But I am curious, for those of you who have drive the Lexus LS 430 or similar Lexus, how do you think it compares to the feel of the Crown Victoria?

I know the obvious response would be that the Lexus is simply the superior car. The engine is more powerful, the interior is more luxurious, there are more features, Lexus engineering and reliability is elite. But you never know. I talked to someone recently who told me he rode in a Lexus LS430 and was unimpressed for the price point.
