I agree with the rap on the RSV. Not much to commend it today. It was quite fond of conjectural emendations in the OT; soft peddling the atonement in the NT. William Sanford LaSor used to say that the only reason for the NIV was to give conservatives a Bible they didn't want to cuss at. If you are into the Critical Text, the ESV or HCSB represents a much better alternative today IMO. If you want the TR tradition, stick with the KJV or NKJV.
