I have been out of the loop in NT studies for some years, but I remember
always finding Blass/DeBrunner much more useful than Robertson for many
reasons, one of the chief of which was its managability! I had a
seminary professor who said that they had no need for Robertson's grammar
around his house now that his children were grown. It's chief role had
been that of a booster seat to help the kids reach the table! :-)
