On my last reread I did most of it in Hapgood (because it was free to put on my kindle, which is much lighter than my Fahnestock/MacAfee), hit Javert Off the Track (which I, uh, may have had virtually memorized off the F/MA translation), noped out of there, and finished off the last piece in F/MA. And I was shocked and dismayed by how much more readable F/MA was; it was really surprising to me. I agree, Hapgood is serviceable, but F/MA was way easier to get through, and I'm a bit bitter because I think some of the parts I thought were hard slogging would have been much less of a slog in F/MA.
