I have the ESV one and I agree that it's an excellent study Bible. Don't expect a lot of in-depth commentary for in-depth study. But it's very helpful for just your normal day-to-day reading.
Are there any study Bibles that truely have "in-depth commentary for in-depth study"? I don't think they would fit in anything less than a multi-volume Bible!
The way I see it, the best I look for is a Bible that doesn't have 'misleading' footnotes. The Reformation Study Bible has very helpful footnotes.
But the Reformation Study Bible doesn't come in NIV. Could that one be the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible?I have 2 - one NKJV and one NIV. While I prefer the NKJV translation the NIV has some really nice additional resources (Heidelberg Catechism, Westminster Confession, Westminster Shorter Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort, Westminster Larger Catechism). Figuring the cost of buying all those individually it was a good deal.

If so, and translations aside, which of the two do you like better?
Technically and theologically, it is very good. The notes and commentary are excellent from a reformed perspective. I highly recommend it.
The one thing I dislike about it is that I got the ESV version, which, while I like the translation overall, does not capitalize divine pronouns. Maybe it's just a personal hang-up on my part. I believe it is also available in the NKJV as well.
I love the Reformation Study Bible. I have the ESV version. I have the Macarthur Study bible NKJV, which I am growing very attached to, as well. My wife has the ESV study bible which is great.
They are all good resources. I also have the complete unabridged Matthew Henry's Commentary to consider when needed.
