Another minor time-killer here: Bible Version Selector Tool

I've been a rather long-time user of the NIV version, so I'm sure my preferences from it prejudice the outcome for me. But the top five versions it selected given my criteria were:

New English Translation
Jewish Publication Society Tanakh
New International Version
New Jerusalem Bible
New American Bible

The Message, which I've been increasingly fond of since picking it up, came in third to last. Odd. And I have to confess to never having heard of the JPS before, but looking it over on Amazon (and being a fan of Rob Bell's teaching style), I have to admit I'm a little intrigued.
