Look at your system requirements and see if you can use a software uart on one or both channels - an interrupt driven one will do pretty much all that a hardware one will at all but the highest baudrates, and will greatly widen your choice of possible devices. You might also want to look at using an ultra-cheap PIC (12c508 or 16c505) as a uart peripheral to another processor.
