[B-Greek] Westcott-Hort GNT

This text has some nice features, but you should
  get it for your fifth or sixth Greek NT, not your second.
  It has a nice font, the dictionary in the back is great,
  and its text is largely unmarred by markings, but it
  does not really have a textual apparatus.  It compares
  its readings to NA 27 (where there are very few differences)
  and to the Pierpont/Robinson text (that is essentially
  the Byzantine Majority text) which is nice to have, but 
  after UBS 4 you want a more complete textual appartus.
  To me clearly the best GNT available is the NET NA 27 diglot,
  which has the full textual apparatus plus a facing translation
  plus some great translation and textual notes, plus it is
  large print.  It costs a lot more than Westcott-Hort but it
  is worth it.  Also, since this new reissue of Westcott-Hort
  does not give you any more of a textual apparatus, I would
  consider a Reader's Edition (Zondervan's first edition is the
  best for the money) first.  But THEN I would get the WH reissue.
