9293 takes 953 and incorporates the errata (20 of them) and 6 other RFCS, so in that sense it's easier since you don't have to check elsewhere for bugs or updates. 953 is 85 pages. 9293 is also 85 pages (with 13 pages of appendix), although they switched to a proportional font for the PDF so there's probably more text.
