>  Any reason not to use BANKSEL ?

I've only once ever intentionally used just one RP bit in STATUS
to change banks and that was part of a very tight timing loop. If
I'd used BANKSEL that would have generated two instructions.
One too many for that loop. And I could guarantee exactly which
bank was active at any time. BANKSEL is normally preferable
because of portability issues
