I have just received my ESV Study Bible, and I am amazed at its quality, accuracy, and extensive breadth of information on Scripture and Biblical history. I enjoy that the ESV translation is faithful to the original Greek, and I appreciate its clarity. As a relatively young Christian, having been baptized just over a year ago, this Bible is great for offering additional insight for tricky passages, and all of the maps and illustration establishes the historical context of each book. I am more than satisfied with my purchase, and would recommend this Bible to anyone wishing to further delve into the Word.

As a bit of the KJV only view- I have been enjoying the ESV translation where there is enough similar to the KJV as a more literal translation following Greek and Hebrew constructions and yet easy enough to read, understand, and follow. Now for someone like me, obviously understanding the KJV is not something I have a problem with but know others do.
As far as the study bible-they did an outstanding job and if there was a critique-being feature rich-almost to rich. On the other hand if your pastor is boring you can just read the study notes

I’m so pleased with the excellent look, feel and overall construction of this bible. The chapter and verse this book contains are so close to my heart. It is nice to be able to admire the cover now as well as the content. The comentary on each page has helped me come to a much clearer understanding of His teachings.
