^I think it boils down what you like. I wouldn't say its "better" or 2Worse". she has much more control and technique in her later days, which technically makes it better. Her tone really changed 2003 onwards. Her early songs are totally different, on many parts very j-poppy and on S19B eve "immature". That said, all of this fits these early songs and they are by no means bad (if you compare it to Ayumi's ASfXX which isn't really good vocal-wise (but also charming)).
When it comes to Finally, I like the sonical update on the first Disc, which makes it outstanding for me (not necessary better or worse), but the same approach fell really flat on the second Disc somehow (imo tho!)). I think the songs from Stlye onwards could have done with just a really good remaster.
