There are many other translations out there as well. I really can't see purchasing any other works as The Way's Interlinear set doesn't appear that much different based on reviews on here and elsewhere. I want to get the CoE set because it will actually be an official CoE translation/work.
As far as Lamsa, I believe he was Nestorian, which is the general belief of the CoE. But I don't want to get into the whole "Theotokos" vs. "Christotokos" discussion now. In some of his commentaries, however, he doesn't quite come across as a Trinitarian and denies the existence of angels, demons, and Satan. He also claims Hell in Aramaic actually means "mental torment."
