No, I’m a lover of the Concordia. In fact, I gave up my Riemenschneider edition that I learned on from the mid-70’s and play only from Concordia.

Peters a long time ago, it is valuable to keep abreast of modern scholarship which seems to claim correctly that some of what was passed along as by Bach is actually by other composers, perhaps most especially Johann Ludwig Krebs, Bach’s supposedly finest student. That doesn’t necessarily make them “inferior” works; it simply gives credit where credit it due. I continue to adore the “other” “Wir glauben all’ an einem Gott, Vater” setting by Krebs with double pedals.

If I were young and rich, what edition should I be purchasing now to fit that preference?

The biggest issue with Peters is that the chorales were not published in the original order, but alphabetically, although I think it's possible to buy the Orgelbeuchlein and Clav. III separately in the correct order. But if you do acquire the whole Peters Ed. as published in 9 volumes, you will get all of the chorale preludes, just arranged alphabetically by title.
