This is interesting to me mostly because my favorite translation is often criticized for being difficult to read because of archaic word choice. Though in this case, a lot of that may be the 'directness' of the translation from the source language (Latin).
I suppose there's a sweet spot between how authentic-sounding the translation is and how complex the diction is.

Though in this case, a lot of that may be the 'directness' of the translation from the source language (Latin). The only English Bible translation that I've ever heard criticized for readability because of the directness of its translation from a Latin (intermediary, obviously, as its not the original language of any of the books of the Bible) source is the original (before the mid-18th Century revision) Douay-Rheims.
