[B-Greek] Shorter Lexicon vs. Abbott-Smith

I have Abbott-Smith's MANUAL Lexicon, but have never seen the "Shorter" BAGD to compare it with.

Which of the two would you recommend as the better "portable" lexicon, and why?

I want to recommend something inexpensive to my Greek class students in lieu of the $125 BDAG, if they want to buy a lexicon but only want to spend $30 or so at this point. The other alternative is to find a used BAGD for $20 or so, but that loses the "portability" factor.
