Tony:

I'm not qualified to judge Ruben Swanson's books, although several people
have praised them highly to me.  I own all of them, and have really been
enjoying them.  I would think they would be of great value to anyone
interested in textual criticism.  I support Clay's suggestion to get
them.   But if you can afford it, get NA27 as well.
