Man, you guys must be my long-lost brothers. Those two (and the 16F1455)
are the exact same chips I sampled recently. And I love my PICKit2,
haven't tried with the 16F1455 yet though. Should be pretty easy to
update it with new device files though. If I get around to it, I'll make
a repository on Github or something with scripts to auto create/patch
the device file. Shame on Microchip for not updating it.

And USB with internal oscillator and debug is a must for me. Time to
look at the PIC18F25J50.
