IMHO, Metzger is the best for general introduction.  Aland is the best for
statistics and information on specific mss.  As in other discipline all such
books reflect their personal views.  Aland sometimes seems arrogant and
certainly claims more than he should.

If one had only the $ to buy one good book on text criticism, would it be
better to purchase Metzger or Aland & Aland (or something else) and why?
