Not running in TURBO seems such a waste.  I don't have the heart to do it.  You are not using the device to its potential.

You significantly waste both the power and speed.  Very funky engineering.  The options were put there by some marketing genius [an oxymoron!].

Using only two stacks has similar implications.  I can just dust off my PIC programmer and cut and paste the PIC program -- but I think I would run out of both EEPROM and RAM.

The real pleasure is in gaining the confidence to transfer programs and improve upon them.  I am having to learn C for similar reasons.  I don't want to program in it, but I do want to impliment algorthms that are only expressed in C.

I can already look at a Basic program and see how to translate commands into SX-Key assembly language.

If  one only reads Parallax examples, there are huge areas of innovative programming that one is ignoring.  The JUM $+1 is one tiny example.

It is superior hardward, but you always have to look at the whole community of programmers to see how to improve the firmward and software.
