I decided several months back to switch to the 18F series for all
of my work, both professional and hobby.  I've been using the
18F252 and 18F452, and have a few 18F1320 projects in mind for
when the chips arrive from Digi-Key next week.

At work, the products I design are all low-volume, specialized
items in which engineering costs dominate, and I'm finding the
18F chips save me a lot of time; they really are MUCH easier to
use, in my opinion.

And at home, I find they're simply more fun (and a lot less
frustrating) to use than the 16's.
