Versailles--pass options
I know this has been discussed to death because I've read a lot of it but I'm still confused.
Does the Paris Museum Pass cover ALL of Versailles or just part of it?
Does the Paris Museum Pass let you bypass the lines or should we get the Le Passport Pass (which covers the train trip) for that?
I'm not worried about the audioguide that comes with Le Passport (I think) because I've already downloaded an iPod audioguide.
I'm going to be in Paris for 3 days. The 2 day pass is 30 Euros and the 4 day pass is 45Euros. Le Passport Pass is 21Euros for weekdays. It seems like the 4 day pass would be cheaper as long as it gets me into all of Versailles and, most importantly, gets me past the line.
Thanks in advance for helping me understand my choices.

I presume that "Le Passport" is the "Forfaits Loisirs Château de Versailles". If so, it will give you travel to Versailles as well as entry, so a 2-day Museum Pass plus this would be cheaper than the 4-day Museum Pass when you include transport.
You get to skip the general admission line with either pass; instead you get to queue in another, shorter line.

Check my math:
2 day Museum pass is 30E + Le Passport 21=51E
4 day museum pass is 45E + 5.50 RT train = 50.50E
I keep reading Le Passport Pass is a better deal.
I'll be in Paris 3 days. It seems the 2 passes would cost about the same. Am I missing something? Is there any advantage to NOT getting the Le Passport pass if I already have a Museum Pass?

Is the "Le Passport Pass" = Forfaits Loisirs?
I know Forfaits Loisirs also includes the audioguide. Does the paris Museum Pass include audioguide?
Which day will you be visiting Versailles? According to Forfaits Loisirs website, the price for weekday is €21.65 and weekend is €25.95.

One more thought-
If you buy the 4-day Paris Museum Pass, you are more flexible in terms of which day you want to go to Versailles. Let's say you plan to go on Day 1, but oh no, it's raining, then you can postpone it to day 2 or day 3. If you have the 2-day museum pass, you'll have to do all the museums back-to-back; and can only visit Versailles either on Day 1 or Day 3.
