what is the next best thing already included with Logos to the HALOT?
The next best thing to HALOT would probably be the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew, which is included in the Collector's Edition.*

I beg to differ. I challenge anyone who has actually used DCH in a real life situation as opposed to reading promotional material about it, to show me a single instance where DCH really assisted him in interpreting the Hebrew Bible (and I own a copy of DCH...)
The next best thing to HALOT and what many would say is still the best lexicon around is BDB. The Enhanced Logos edition is a treat.
Is that the Enhanced Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon?
Exactly! Always check etymologies (not included in DCH anyway) against HALOT.
Cliff, do you have an approximate ETA on that one?

Could you cite some instances where DCH has been singularly unhelpful? Interested to know because I've been wondering whether I should continue with the pre-pub order.
It usually follows BDB with the integration of occurrences in the DSS and the inscriptions which you can find by running a search in Logos or using the BWS. I cannot recall a single time I used this lexicon in which there was anything important missing in BDB or HALOT.
Why don't you give me a lexeme and we shall compare the treatment in all three.
Choose one without many occurrences so that we can make a thorough comparison.
