You can get an idea of how much/little you gain from being able
to see minor variations alongside major ones by looking at
http://archimedes/gnt/manuscripts/Ka.tei
where in Luke 13-15 you get a very detailed transcription
of 7 witnesses, plus complete data on 7 more as far as the IGNTP
reports it, with supporting attestation from a bunch more.
Compare it with NA27 for a few verses, then imagine what
hundreds more witnesses would do to the picture.
It would be highly daunting to do on paper, but exciting in
machine-readable form.
