As RayeR noted, enter takes 4 bytes. It only saves any space if you additionally need to subtract a constant from sp, in which case the manual code will usually take 6 bytes (instead of only 3 bytes like the above.)

Generating an unnecessary extra byte in this case is one of NASM's "features" ;) Actually, it just simplifies the assembler implementation a lot, so, well, you'd better know what you're doing.
