linear data memory & large data arrays

I started a project using the 18F26K20 so I could use large arrays but I need a smaller part so am thinking of using the 16F1825 which has linear data memory.
I need a 484 byte array.
The data sheet on the 16F1825 said that after the 80th byte the pointer advances to the first byte in the next bank. (Using linear data memory.) This way the 80 byte RAMs are added together to make one large linear RAM location. Yet in another location it seems to say this is not true. I am confused!
Using ASM I believe I can make a 484 byte array on the 16F1825. I think Basic-Pro cannot use a large array on a 16F part but can on a 18F part. Is this true?
Thanks.
