The paperweight of the NIV Archaeological Study Bible feels about the same.

The ESV Archaeology Study Bible has a paperweight of 36gsm, and it’s pages are opaque. The NIV Archaeological Study Bible is now out-of-print, but it was available in Duotone imitation leather, bonded leather, Top Grain leather, European leather, and Renaissance leather bindings. The ESV Archaoelogical Study Bible is also available in Trutone imitation leather and genuine leather bindings. Preference is a subjective thing, but I prefer the ESV Archaeology Study Bible’s cover to that of the NIV Archaeological Study Bible.

It was only the second specifically archaeologically-related study Bible, coming some 13 years after the NIV Archaeological Study. In 2018, the ESV Archaeology Study Bible released to great fanfare.
