Miller/Levine Biology -which edition!???

[pjssully]

So... I have decided on the Miller/Levine Biology and I am wondering what the difference is between the dragon fly book and the McCaw book. Is there a significant difference? I have a copy of the dragonfly so if I went with the news one I would have to buy 2 books as I am teaching 2 plus the teacher edition. That will get pricey. But if there is a big benefit to using the new one, I will do it. Looking for feedback

Thanks

No personal experience, but here are a couple of previous threads about the books:

I went with the dragonfly edition because I got a great deal on it and its supporting materials. Most of the info isn't going to have changed, except for a couple of chapters.

This is what we did.

We went with the Macaw because that's what lined up with all of their online resources, which we ended up using a lot.

There was a significant change to the section on classification. That is the only really big change that I know of. The Macaw book has been around long enough to find used now. I'd go for it!
