Both statements are pretty correct. I have had the Lutheran Study Bible by Concordia and I found it a good Bible, but the essays and parts where they explain the scripture are more conservative than an ELCA or TEC member would generally agree with. That said, they are also not ultra-conservative either. Somewhere in the middle. But if one is not familiar with the teachings and doctrine of the particular church in question then it might not be the best fit as you might not be able to weed out what your church does not agree with.
The theology and doctrine will be very similar, most of the things that separates the ELCA and LCMS are not really something delved into in the study Bible, but the overall tone is more conservative.
I have a travel ESV that I would be happy to send you way if you like. It's not quite pocket size, but it is small (6.5 inches tall X 4.5 inches wide).
I would love to say yes, but at that size, I'm pretty sure the type is quite small.
I'm finding out the older that I get the larger the letters need to be... Lol. I'm having to send back the BCP I bought after looking through it last night for a larger font sized one.
