The difference is night and day.

First the third edition is VASTLY improved from the simple mechanical  
usage and format.  The divisions in the entry are much cleaner and  
clearer.  The sub-sections are formated to see at a glance where you  
are in the entries.  For me this alone made the purchase worth the  
price.

Second the content has been updated extensively throughout with the  
latest information at the time of publication (2000).

The third edition is worth every penny and every minute spent with it  
is fruitful.
