The only quibble with the study version is that some of the commentary may be from various views (such as end time interpretations) that I don't necessarily hold to, but that's okay. <br/>Recently we bought an Archaeological Study Bible (NIV), and enjoy this as far as having more insight into the time periods. The included DVD for this is a little on the light side though.<br/>My wife has an NIV student bible, which she enjoys. We can also recommend the Word of Promise New Testament Audio Book - Excellent voice work, sound effects, and really brings a unique perspective to the Bible.

I own a TNIV (Today's New International Version) study Bible though, and it is quite good - similar wording, modernized a bit.
