If you decide on Scofield, then by ALL MEANS get the old one 1917.
The text has not been fiddled with like the modern Scofield Bibles.
Some should get kicked out for using the term King James.

Personally, I do not go to the Study Bibles at all.
Some of the notes may be great but they do detract from your actual reading of the text.
You can read your Bible in only 7 weeks at the rate of an hour or two a day.
[30 pages].
Seeing that my eyes grow dim, I try to use a larger print Bible.
I particularly like cross reference Bibles. The column is usually in the centre, but some are ushered to the margins.
