The NIV has no historal legacy. Today's culture does not appreciate history (today's values are more superior to the past etc) so I think a translation that shows a historical lineage is a good antidote to modern culture and shows the Christian heritage to have a great lineage. The ESV has this heritage going back to Tyndale etc.
