I'd swap you a BS2 for a 16f84a any day. In fact, I'd even pay a bit of money on top. Honda Vs Ferrari basically.
And who drives a Ferrari as there first car. The BS2 is a good way to get started. Compare to the cost of PBP or the time of learning assembly and cost of a good programmer...

And about the swap. Your on. What is you mailing address. This would make the Scouting Troop I work with very happy. Do not worry about the "bit of money on top", paying for the shipping will be fine.
