The F872-F877 is fine when you need A/D or more I/O than a F628 can offer.
PICs have almost always been offered on a power/capacity/IO/features
continuum. The F870-F877 family is a bit further up than the 16F628. I think
that many of us argue that the 16F84 slot has been wholly replaced by the
16F62X family.

Use both. Pick the appropriate one you need.
