Aloha buzzoff1031,
Of the four Bibles you mentioned you possess, the Old Scofield (
boring or not) is the best "study" Bible. I personally do not recommend using "study" Bibles for reading or study.
Since 1970 I have used the best bound King James Bible I could find (with Large enough Print for comfort)
without any notes or references - just the Holy words of God. When I study the Bible I have several letter sized Yellow Writing Pads along side, so that I can write down my thoughts or questions on the Scriptures I am studying.
If you are curious about what other people may "
think" about a particular verse you might go to the Old Scofield, or a Thompson, or some other reputable King James "study" Bible. But you should not rely on men for the "interpretation" or understanding of God's words. {That's why I don't read or study a Bible with someone else's notes
in it, or a Bible with references
in it.)
If I want to know what other men "
think" about a verse (or subject) in the Bible, I buy their books and read their "
opinions". I personally don't like their "
opinions"
mixed in with the Holy words of God! And I certainly don't rely on other men for my understanding of Scripture.
Please check out a former Post that I made on this Forum last year if you want a further explanation of my position on this issue:

May God bless you in your studies and give you not only knowledge - but discernment, understanding, and wisdom also.
