I'm still wondering that same thing myself...almost out of horsepower/memory on the 18F series on a couple of projects and am wanting to partially move over to dsPICs/mikroBasic, obviously keeping PBP for the 8-bit micro's. Still can't decide whether or not to spend the $$$.
I troll the forums over at mikro-e, and they seem a bit less active than here.
