There are many translations that maintain at some level, part of the heritage of the KJV. The criticial source texts may be updated, and the language may be refreshed, but texts such as the ESV and NRSV derive throught the RSV, ASV, RV through to the KJV.

While the JPS only contains a translation of the OT, I felt that it provided a much different interpretation of the text. It's interesting in many ways precisely because it does not follow the NT tradition, and takes a much different ideological stance. 

I've also become a fan of comparing any translation against the NET, especially when I have the extensive NET notes pane showing, as it often illuminates the translation decisions.
