Isn't Murphy's book more up to date and comprehensive as a reference?

Edit: Andrew Ng's Coursera course is CS229A (http://cs229a.stanford.edu/), not really watered down.

I'm a big fan of Murphy but its comprehensiveness means you lose some detailed explanations. Bishop really gets at those details (so does EoSL).
