When I was "shopping" for translations, I asked a russophone blogger for his advice. He said that he doesn't read translations and advised me to find one that I liked (hooray for Kindle samples!), but did say that he personally does not like the P&V approach to the translation, and his distaste was strong enough to dissuade me. I ended up getting the Maude.
