I hadn't checked out other versions of the translation so far because they aren't complete, but you're right, it would actually be interesting to go back and look at selected bits, I'll take a look.
Different translation choices can make such a difference - there was one unclear word choice in a recent MDZS chapter that made the sense of a whole paragraph hard to understand, and when I read the other version of the translation it became obvious it meant Wei Wuxian was having a really important revelation about his feelings for Lan Wangji!
