Ovid Latin reader

I just received in the mail today Allen and Greenough's Ovid reader.

What would forum members like to see first: Virgil or Ovid? Both readers are about the same size and each comes with the typical notes and specialized vocabulary.

My vote goes for Ovid.

Is it the full works of either author?
If so, I would have to go for Virgil here, much as I am currently enjoying the Amores.

No, for Virgil it's the Aeneid Books I-VI and for Ovid it's mostly selections from the Metamorphoses.

Definitely Virge then!

Notes? Special Vocabulary?

I need Virgil for examination purposes and since I'm not accustomed to that erratic word order etc. I would definitely go for that!
