Jose,

if you want to simulate the whole device, not just the instruction
set, as far as I know, Keil is the only one to support this. Also keep
in mind that switching a tool chain will introduce a learning curve
for the new tools. 
Keep in mind that you will get a new compiler from Keil now that is no
longer GNU based. However, the installation I have offers both
options, the GNU based and the new Keil-owned compiler. Code size is
VERY different because the GNU libraries eat up too much memory.
If you were satisfied with Keil before, I would stick with it, if not,
the list of GNU based compilers is still in this e-mail thread. I
heard good things about the Rowley tools, very intuitive.

Cheers, Bob
