You misunderstood me, I have nothing to say against Mikroelektronika, I was talking about circuit-ed site , as they are selling Mikroelektronika's board and compilers at prices 30-40% higher (169$ against 115$ for EasyPic3 board, for example). They are willing to give 30% discout on compilers withouth bying a developement board, just contact them by mail (at least they did that for me).
I have 4 different boards and 2 compilers made by them, and they are extraordinary value for money. But be aware, transfering from PBP to Mikroelektronika's Basic is anything but straightforward, since M Basic has a more Pascal than Basic way of "thinking". Now, I only use there Basic for DSPic since there isn't any alternative on the current market, and for "regular Pics PBP and Proton. I would rate Mikroelektronika's development board a pure A, but compilers not more than B. ( just for comparasion, I would rate PBP with B and Proton with A)
