I come from a background of Basic Stamps and want to get into some more
advanced microcontrollers. I am having a terrible time trying to find some
comprehensive comparisons of AVR technologies vs. the PIC. I want to make
sure I make the right choice before investing time or money into one or
the other.

I have searched the archives and just get unrelated search results but I
am sure this topic has come up before. Can anyone steer me in the right
direction?
