Hi Andre,

        I did that move some years ago. Never regretted.
        I can tell you my reasons, but they couldn't be very
significant to you:

        1. More speed, almost 1 MIPS/MHz.
        2. No memory bank switching.
        3. Not only one accumulator but lots of them to work with.
        4. Very resourceful assembly language.
        5. Multiply instructions (8x8) in TWO clock cycles!

        Last week I had to do a rework on an old PIC design.
        Boy, I missed the AVR that week!
