design question

Staying withing the 10FXXX lineage, why would you build a circuit using a 10F200 when a 10F322 costs only ten cents more?

They aren't really thinking like that, the later chip is a newer generation with features designed to obsolete the former.
There was a time when the 16F84 was the same price as a 16F628 too, why would you want half the memory and less peripherals?
Somewhere out there though, someone would still have been wanting the 16F84 to write existing hex files to.

HEY! Don't diss the 16F628. I started with that PIC and still have a boatload on hand, somewhere. Same with the 16F877.

It is the 'F84 in that example that has half memory (1K) and less peripherals!
The 'F628 is a beast, and I'd still choose it for small personal stuff that only needed
a couple of pins because it's ready for more if the project runs away form you

@Art - I couldn't agree more, and the std. F version will ran at 10Mhz on 3V
