Gotcha covered there too!

You won't be indexing sizes >8 bytes with your lea. Super annoying with 128-bit SSE arrays - which is pretty much the only reason I write any assembler anymore.

What's special about that? I can't see anything unexpected. Do I miss something here? I don't know (any) assembler well.
