I partly agree on the 14000, but the integrator is a real pig to supervise.  You
must baby sit many of the steps.  My own 14000 experience is only at 8 bit
resolution (marketing driven processor choice).  But I have heard that high
resolutions are a strong challenge, both from board layout and also the math tha
t
you must go through to compensate.  Ugh.  It just is not what I wanted.

But it looks like Sean Woods saved the day on his revelation that there are two
new parts running 12 bit resolution.  It looks like this thread is a year too
late.  The end of the wait may be upon us.
