I'll second the suggestion of Gingrich/Danker (I keep a copy in my
briefcase). Also, being hard-bound it is very sturdy.
Another alternative to consider if size is a special consideration (e.g.
while travelling): The UBS4 comes in an edition in which it is bound
together with a "concise" Dictionary of NTGreek. That Dictionary can be
bought separately from ABS. Not really a lexicon, but it _is_ compact
(i.e. the size of the UBS4 X ~200 onion-skin pages).
