The set of volumes coming from Reuben Swanson is doing just that: 
Vaticanus is the base text, and all other fully-collated MSS (most 
papyri and uncials and a representative number of minuscules and Byz) are 
cited in pleno in the various apparatuses Swanson presents.  Even nomina 
sacra and obvious errors are recorded in sub-apparatuses. 

To date only the four gospel volumes are available, but Swanson is 
planning to do the entire NT in this manner, should he live long enough 
to complete it.  The volumes are available from William Carey Publishers 
in Pasadena, CA, and were shown at last November's ETS and SBL meetings.
