> BG was not the best 19th-century edition of Bach's organ works; most people agree that Griepenkerl's Peters Ed. Wins that award, and it remains a fundamentally significant edition today.

No doubt about that.  The only main cons about it is the ordering of the works -- Orgelbuchlein combined with outside chorales, Prelude in Eb linked with Fugue in Eb, etc.  Peters became aware of this and, at least for the chorales, they output a reclassified edition "in der Folge des Originals".  Strangely it seems that this one is much less known than the current Peters Ausgabe.
