I currently use an EPIC, MCS, PBP and want to go to less wires / lose parallel and use ICP.

I see all kinds of posts about MCS operating a Pickit2, but when I look in the define new programmer choices, I don't see pickit3. I believe the only difference id LVP support in a 3. can you use a 3 and choose a 2 from the drop down?

I like the MCS interface for programming so I don't want to seperately fire MPLAB.

So, should I get a 2 or a 3?
