How Well As Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji been preserved since 1708?

I say stick to the Damdama version since most copies are based on that. And it includes hymns by Guru Tegh Bahadur and one Dohra by Guru Gobind Singh.

To allow variations can lead to questioning the authenticity and hence validity of Bani.

Well Sadly, this is the case. No current printed saroop is the same as the Damdami Birh.

These we're not Ram Raiye who made these mistakes while copying Saroops. They had no intent to change the meanings, it just that they introduced many human mistakes while copying.

The worst offenders, sadly, are the artistic saroops written during the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Sure these saroops look very nice and are artistic, but most were written by scribes who didn't have Gurbani Vidhya.

I am referring to the various Lagamatra differences.

Another sad this is when panthic scholars try to study Puratan saroops, they are labeled Ram Raiye when in truth they are doing in Good faith to make Gurbani Shudh as possible to the Damdami Birhh.

Books like Paath Beedan Di Sochi by Gyani Gyan Singh Nihung is one example, but because people don't have interest, the book is out of print.

If you are interested in this topic, that book is somewhere on Punjab Digital Library, it shows various variations in Puratan saroops.

I can't remember which one, but stick to the one that does not have any spaces in between words, it's the reason why it was written that way, nobody can add anything to it, plus got seal of approval by Guru Ji

The Muslims, especially, are in no place to be critiquing the authenticity of our texts, considering their text wasn't even finalized 200 years after the death of Mo. Not to mention the removal of of verses that were once said to be a part of the text, and multiple versions varying to significant degree.

The Muslims, under Uthman, gathered all the variants of the Koran and burned them. That's the only reason there's "one" Koran now.
