Is this true? That surprises me because microcode could use this same MVC 
logic. 

There are hidden benefits in using MVCL. It's interruptible and updates the 
registers meaning it can prefetch storage while it's moving storage. MVC is 
going to wait for the 256 bytes to move.  For MVC, prefetch can only occur if 
the pipeline can figure it out.
