If you like some of the aramaic, and Daniel specifically, this is an interesting volume to pick up.  I'm not sure how Logos will format it, but the hardcopy is color coded (my underlining):

'The text taken from Codex Leningradensis appear in brown, while the Dead Sea Scrolls appear in olive green and gold strands. The gold strands of the Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that the reading contains rare portions which are not found in the other versions. From time to time the LXX is in agreement with these strands of gold, while no agreements are found with Codex Leningradensis in this regard. One such example is where the latter in Daniel 8:4 reads: "I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward." The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint in agreement, read: "I saw the ram pushing westward, and eastward, northward, and southward." The reader's attention could easily be captivated by differences clearly indicated by these green and gold color-coded strands.'

And if you'd like to spend a dollar more, you can get the Kindle version untagged, etc.  So there: tagged and cheaper too!!

Plus, the author is from Seoul.  Need more like these.

I forgot earlier the extra plus that this is an SDA resource.  Why?  I think since the author's university is SDA.  I can't imagine the DSS fragments were SDA.

But it illustrates the randomness of the religious group assignments in Logos.com.  Some seem to default to 'evangelical', many to whatever page the new page was copied from.

But ignoring Logos' trials and tribulations, the university is interesting:
