I agree 100%, but I'm not sure what version would be the replacement. 
The NIV and NASB are very good, the KJV is pretty poor by today's standards.

I understand that money had to be involved with the translating/publishing process, but the fact texts like NIV is "licensed" means profit. I'm beginning to sway away from such versions and translations and moving towards public domain texts. I'm doing the same with Windows to Linux. I've even paid for a distribution just because of the freedoms in the GNU GPL license.
