It's not always true, I was being half-facetious, but you do get something from earlier ones that you don't from the later ones because the earlier have the benefit of being done closer to the time the work was originally written and could have a better understanding of the slang, language, concepts, etc of the time.

So uh, are the Muir translations good or what?

Not that I understand German or anything, but I found them perfectly acceptable. The important thing is to just read them!
