Jerome:

Also, the PicStart Plus programs ALL the PICs, from the 8-pin 12C50x
to the 17C44.  The 16B1 programs only a small subset.

Also, the 16B1 doesn't interface directly with MPLAB; it's controlled
by a DOS program called MPSTART.  On the other hand, the PicStart
Plus REQUIRES MPLAB, which means that you can only use it if your PC
is running Windows.

The PicStart Plus comes in a nice case and satisfies European CE
requirements for emitted radiation; the 16B1 is a bare board and
doesn't.
