Dear LVM:
It has been my great blessing to be able to attend Mass at RC parishes using the Congregation of St Pius X Latin service. The translation is nearly identical to the English we use in our 1928 BCP service and I so agree with you: there is little more solemn and beautiful than a Latin Mass said by a priest who fully understands the language and the liturgy.
In Christ,
Deacon Paul+
A local (not on the AFB) parish Priest would actually take a poll before Mass......
"Children of God, what is your wish? Latin or English?"
The most hands raised, won.
Latin, hands down - every time.
LVM
