        - Cost. I can buy AVRs cheaper than PICs here.
        - The instruction set is more versatile, meaning assembly
programming easier. No bank switching, no one accumulator to do
all byte manipulations.
        - Have made code translation from PIC to AVR and got almost
half sized code, meaning faster code.
