This is fascinating. However, with regards to some of the major differences between artscrolls ideology/presuppositions particularly with regard to biblical interpretation and the artscroll history series and modern orthodox academics tendencies, do you think the merits outweigh the flaws and these texts are appropriate to be standard amongst MO communities?

Artscroll is definitely very well researched and useful in many ways, but I still think the Judaica Press Nach is far superior in many ways. It's very clear that artscroll has a clear agenda as to which commentaries they add, and their refusal to translate shir hashirim literally is a big example of this.
