Been using the chip for a while and the current ATMega328PB variant is a better chip, dual UART and more IO, some people say they had XTAL issues but I have not come across them and also the internal 8Mhz Osc is accurate enough for reliable 9600 baud UART between 0 and 40 degrees. My point is it is also the cheapest it has ever been. I think the price rise was people stocking up after the buyout but I currently pay $1.02 ea for Qty 25 and there is a shit-tonne of stock. My Annoyance is that to get more RAM/FLASH you tripple the price which is ridiculous. I also use PIC18K chips which are a similar price at 32KB/2KB but only cost $0.20 more to double the FLASH/RAM/CLOCK and so are much better value. Clock for clock the AVR is a more efficient chip so Microchip have no real excuse not to do the decent thing and give us a 64K/4K version of it without the stupid price hike. 32 bit is so overkill for most applications but you just get so much more for your money with them.
