You don't have to use MPLAB, I just downloaded it to have a recent version of MPASM. You don't have to use MPASM directly either, you keep on working in PIC Basic Pro (MPASM is used in place of the default assembler in background).
You don't have to go to PBP 3.0 either if you're happy with what you have. I'm on PBP 2.60C, Microcode Studio Plus v2.2.1.1 using 18F4550 with USB and I'm quite happy!
It's just that some new features need MPASM to function, like USB and DT Interrupts.
Sorry, I haven't added a new processor in MCS. And no, as far as I know it's not forbidden to discuss that subject. I have seen others post about doing it, I don't think they included details though.
5-6 inch LCDs, I haven't looked recently but those buggers weren't coming down in price very fast. Something like $80-100 USD several years ago, ebay is a good place to get an idea what they go for now. Particular model, I worked with one LCD more than the other demos I received. I'll have to do some digging.

EDIT: What about something like this?
