I hadn't thought of using it it for this purpose, but I don't see why not...
I've found that recently that I've been using the Frieberg's[sp?]
Analytical GNT for a lot of my "non-critcal" reading (e.g. my daily
practice of reading aloud).
Now, first, it has no crtical apparatus (I actually find this an advantage
for my purposes). Also, you have to get used to ignoring the interlinear
morphological keying.
Nonetheless, it's a modern critical text (i.e. not TR/MjT, or most likely
like the 1910 edition you mention above). But more importantly, the
typeface is much easier to read than, say, NA or UBS4. And the volume is
reasonably easy to find.
Finally, for your purposes, it may not have huge margins, but certainly
there would be more room for anotations than in the NA (for example).
(BTW, this is in no way meant to disparge the intended uses of the
Frieberg text. It's just that I also find it handy --if a little bulky--
for use as a "reader's editio"n.)
Just a suggestion,
Nichael
