Stephen,
Each must determine the value of this work to himself based on his own
evaluation of his abilities and needs. Having said that, take a look at
the number of times this work is referenced in works such as BDAG. The
ability to check these references so that the point becomes clear is
extremely valuable. By the same token, A. T. Robertson is also
frequently referenced (though I thing not as frequently as B-D-F). It
naturally becomes a question of the finances you are able to devote to
the purchase of such resources. "Of making many books there is no end"
Eccl 12.12.
