NRSV reverse interlinear oddities
In the New Year's sale, I am offered the New Revised Standard Version with Reverse Interlinear | Logos Bible Software with dynamic pricing for $2.66. That really confused me, since I was absolutely certain that the NRSV already has RI functionality in my Logos.
Trying to get to the bottom of this, I found that I own the New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition with Reverse Interlinear | Logos Bible Software, which of course includes the proto canon RI and the apocrypha RI, and is linked to both the NRSV and the NRSVCE.
So I'd expect to already "own" the standard NRSV RI, since, in fact, I own it... or at least to be able to "buy" it for free, since it adds nothing to my Logos.
Even more puzzling, the separate English-Greek Reverse Interlinear of the NRSV Apocryphal Texts | Logos Bible Software is available for $44.99 - which is triple the price of the NRSVCE, which also contains the apocrypha RI.

This is an incorrect assumption. That product only includes reverse interlinears that apply to NRSVCE, not to NRSV.
You do already own the OT and NT RVIs for NRSV, but do not yet own the Apocrypha or Apocrypha (alternate texts) RVIs.

Plus, the NRSV Apoc RI demands the Logos LXX w/Morphology, which the link says Logos doesn't offer.

Now that took me some time to confirm.... but actually you're right!!
The apocrypha in the NRSVCE have RI, but the apocrypha in the NRSV don't (which I didn't think about double checking, since they should be identical texts, just in different order.)
In conclusion, the RI on sale will add new features to my Logos experience, and it's worth buying.
