As I said elsethread, I've decided to run a 4-Bit counter into a 4-
to-16 decoder.

In what way is that superior to daisy chaining two shift-register type
devices?


Only one pin is needed from the microcontroller.

With the shift register setup, two pins are needed (one for clock, one
for data input).
