 After I started the Burton version in ELF website, I went back and checked how the Lang version looked in comparison to it.  What I found was that:

There are differing titles for the stories (The Fisherman and the Jinni vs. The Story of the Merchant and the Genius)

The Burton version has much older seeming language , and that turned off this modern day reader

Burton version had many praises of Allah

i only read the harvard version, but i noticed that the other one had pictures. which was interesting and i guess relevant if we're going to be comparing it to persepolis. but theres i think just one picture per story and i found myself just glancing at them, they didnt add much to the story it terms of layers or perception.
