[B-Greek] TR text?

I personally responded to Matthew with the following text, remember this is
coming from what used to be one of the staunchest KJO people on the planet -
I just started doing balanced reading of the facts:


Hey there Matthew,
 
I have a T.R as well.  I don’t use it much anymore, however.  The truth is
about the editions is there are many different editions of the T.R and the
truth is that the "Stephanus 1550" T.R (do a Google search for several free
copies on the net) was used in the King James Version of the Bible.  You can
even find many different editions on Ebay as well.  I was bidding on a
Scrivener’s 16xx just the other day on EBay!  
 
Over at www.tbs-sales.org is the T.R that most colleges (that still use the
T.R) teach Greek with.  More specifically
(http://www.tbs-sales.org/site/sales/category.asp?id=3#) Scroll down a bit
and there it is titled: Koiné Greek New Testament (Textus Receptus)
 
The question for you is why?  If you would, please read this article I have
put here at the bottom of my e-mail.  It was in the Detroit Baptist Seminary
Journal Volume 1.  It is some of the best reading on the subject for a fair
minded person I have ever read.

(with the special formatting, I couldn't paste the article in here so here
is the URL - http://www.dbts.edu/dbts/journals/1996_1/ERASMUS.PDF

I was wondering if you could give me advice about which Greek Textus
Receptus edition I should order? I came across your three-year-old post by
searching for "Pierson Publishing Group," after seeing their listings on
Amazon for various Received Text editions, hoping that ordering directly
from them I could find cheaper deals than what Amazon was offering. However,
I too could not find anything on them on the internet. Perhaps they never
existed, or perhaps they went out of business, but do you know where I can
find a good (and hopefully affordable) Textus Receptus?

Thank you,

Matthew Dickinson
