[B-Greek] Interlinear Greek-English NT

I have read the comments on this.  I studied the Greek alphabet, grammar, vocabularies including Greek roots, etc. and I translated the then Second Edition of The Greek New Testament using references but when I tried to use the interlinear, I could not appreciate it so I discarded it as reference.  I was able to translate that Greek New Testament in about 200 days and this fact was published in The Christian Chronicle published by the Oklahoma University in its May 1992 issue.  Then came the Fourth Revised Edition that THE WILL (A Plain Translation of The New Testament from Greek to English) was edited in accordance with the later edition (no much difference anyway).
   
  In short, we better base our studies on the grammar (we should know English grammar first by the way) and vocabulary, the words and their respective declension, etc.  I don't recommend the use of interlinears.

  I have taken one year of NT Greek (about 20 years ago), and I want to learn how to read the entire NT in its original Greek. It seems to me that an interlinear Greek-English New Testament would be a valuable tool for such a beginner as me. But I want to get the best version available.

All that I have found so far are:

1. Zondervan's version, including NIV, or NIV with NASB. However, this interlinear is based on Nestle-Aland 21st edition, which was first released about 50 years ago.

2. Tyndale's version, including the NRSV, which is based on the N-A 26th edition. However, NRSV is not my translation of choice.

Which of these two interlinears would you recommend for a beginner such as me? Are there any other interlinear Greek-English NT's that are available? Are there any interlinears based on the N-A 27th edition?

Thanks so much for any advice you can provide. I greatly appreciate it!
