I just got my Lexham English Septuagint in the mail yesterday because I wanted to read the Bible of the early church. The Greek is not superior to the Hebrew/Aramaic, although I do think the original reading has been preserved in the Greek where it has been lost in the Masoretic text (Deuteronomy 32:8-9, sons of God instead of sons of Israel).

A margin note in my Bible on Deuteronomy 32:8 says that one Dead Sea Scroll reads "sons of God," while the Septuagint reads "angels of God".

I myself would like to have an ancient versions parallel Bible that sets an English translation of the Masoretic Text beside English translations of the Septuagint and Dead Sea Scrolls texts.
