Well, it's older, and as I recall it has more of a reference grammar layout. 
It's still a useful resource, but lacks the advantage of later work. One of 
the major criticisms that I've seen is its reliance on standard editions 
rather than actual manuscripts. I'll shut up now, since this is hardly my 
field of expertise, any more than it's on topic for this list :-)
