I also like the fact that the notes are on facing pages to the text.
I prefer the text and introduction to the Ormerod and Wortham edition, though the actual notes to the text are not as extensive as most other editions. The only one that I haven't had a very close look at is the new Revels Plays edition, but it would have to be a lot more impressive than both the old Revels Plays edition and the World's Classics edition edited by the same editors, in order to come close to the front-runner for my Dark Hero course: the Norton Critical Edition. I have been looking at the newbies (bottom row) in order to select a text for my Dark Hero course, but I have been progressively re-examining the others too.
