BAGD and BDAG are specifically geared for NT and early Christian literature,
and are thus indispensable for study in these areas.

LSJ-M-G, on the other hand, is a positively MASSIVE compendium of Greek
vocabulary from 1200 BC to well past the NT period.  If you're just interested
in NT studies, then you might as well wait for BDAG. and don't bother with
this.  For any serious work outside the NT, though, I wouldn't want to be
without LSJ.
