About the Del-Rey version
Capella:
I like the Del Rey versions, though they have a few screwups and sometimes the dialogue doesn't sound as smooth to me as in the better fan translations. The cultural notes are nice to have, but the crossover notes are quite near to useless. After the first volume or so they miss quite a number of crossovers (Masayoshi, Primera, and Shougo aren't noted as crossovers, for a start), and don't give much information. Also, I snicker at the description of Subaru and Seishirou Jeannette mentioned, and in the first volume when they said that Ashura-ou was "a variation of the main character of RG Veda" because...yeah, Ashura-ou is totally a variation of his son/daughter/genderless offspring.

I was wondering about this too cause i'm thinking of ordering the first volumes in amazon. I'm fine as long as they keep honorifics and important facts like kuro's nicknames or Fai's "Hyuuu" xD
btw i thought they had till volume 15 or something :(

They have all of the honorifics intact. Fai's "hyuu"s are written as "wheet-woo" or something very close to that, but I don't have a problem with that personally.
Sadly, only volumes 1-10 are out in Del Rey version at the present time. 11 will be out at the end of this month, like Jeannette said.

How so? I find the site tons better than what it was before.

Maybe it depends on the computer - I know the new setup for the site is completely impossible to use on my computer. The side bars ends up in the middle of the page, or half the page goes off screen with no way to get to it, which makes it impossible for me to read the release calendar.
