Andrew,
 
On a practical level, the difference between UBS 2 and UBS 3 is, roughly,
the difference between eating cheesecake with a fork and eating it with
a spoon.

Good day -

I use the NA27/RSV diglot for my daily GNT study, but I've been looking
for a more compact GNT for pocket carry, or to leave in a desk drawer at
work.  I decided to order a used UBS3 from Amazon Marketplace, partly
based upon the high marks for readability given here, and because I
thought a GNT with a smaller apparatus and less "extras" would be a
little smaller.  I was surprised to find, when I received my order, that
I had ordered a UBS2 (my mistake for assuming, the edition was not
listed).  The Bible is in *superb* shape, though.  The font *seems* a
little larger and clearer than my NA27/RSV, OT quotations are in a bold
font, and it has a simple apparatus.  

I'm really enjoying my purchase, but I'm wondering what the differences
are between UBS2 and UBS3.  I'm hoping that someone on the list would be
so kind as to enlighten me on the distinctiveness of the UBS2, if any.
If this question is out of scope for the forum, I apologize.

Thanks,
