Logos has had many of Comfort's manuscript books (and commentaries).

This one is more recent, and quite interesting. You're probably well familiar with Metzger's. This one has 3 perspectives ... discussions of individual mss's, NT books and their respective mss's, and finally, the bulk of the book ... selected verses and interpretive impacts of mss differences.

Below is from A-Company (on sale), and a section from Titus:

That looks pretty interesting. I haven't looked at review articles, but since it's described as a "small and insightful volume", there are probably more passages where one takes issue with the UBS that Comfort doesn't cover than those that he does. (Your sample, e.g., has huge chunks of Titus not covered.) Still, textual criticism is never exhaustive and this volume is not meant to be. I'd love to see it in Logos.

This one (available in Logos) seems to have more content on the sections you posted from Titus: https://www.logos.com/product/45374/new-testament-text-and-translation-commentary that’s why I haven’t really pulled the trigger on the one Accordance sells, though they sell both.

Yes, I have that one, plus the paleography one too, in Logos. I like the more recent one, since it highlights interpretive significance (arguments). If it'd been in Logos, I would have got it years back.

As an example, the more recent volume presents the mss's tendencies at the same time it's presenting the interpretive problem at verse level. If I knew each mss's research, but I don't. The older volumes (more verse-by-verse) largely documents the differences; references to mss's are similar to Logos's interactive, but not the significance. I guess I'd rate it as a 'footnotes' resource! I have other books who I got just for the footnotes.

Below I included a mss description from Hebrews 1:3 comment, and mss 1739.
