Not true for 16F1xxx. Two index registers.

Not true for 16F1xxx. All GPR can be addressed

Table processing is much easier on the 16F1xxx
when using dual buffers or dual buffer pointers.

Not saying that the PIC18 are not good, but do not
compare with the *old* PIC16. And the 8-pin 12F1xxx
has the same architecture, PIC18 starts at 18-pins.
