McGrath or Lane as primary historical theology book?

To church history/historical theology junkies out there:

Just trying to decide between A Concise History of Christian Thought by Tony Lane and Alister Mcgrath's Historical Theology. I'm a 1st year seminary student. Which one should I own?

I've always been a fan of McGrath but I'm only an armchair theologian. I find his academic books are detailed yet remaining reasonably accessible.

I'm not familiar with Tony Lane. However I really did enjoy my Alister E. McGrath book in seminary. I would vote for another book by McGrath.

McGrath's book has a prefatory section ("How to Use This Book") that is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Although it's only 3 pages long, it's packed with comedy, so much so that I can instance a couple of things without spoiling most of the fun. Basically the secret to "how to use this book" is to read it. We are informed that "the book opens with an Introduction," and we are urged to read this first. Who'd have thought? For those readers who are wanting to learn about historical theology, the author recommends reading "the chapters in the order in which they are presented." For all others, "ask for guidance." Why anyone who is not interested in historical theology would be reading a book entitled "Historical Theology" is a bit of a poser. I guess they do need guidance. Then McGrath tells us that he works on the principle of "explain it the first time round." Appears to be sound practice, but, for those who sought guidance and are not reading the chapters in order, this may prove to be something of a disability.
