I want DIP for two reasons basically... one, it seems to be a lot easier to
prototype with. Second, I haven't worked with SMT before. Sure, I could learn,
but time is kind of important in this application. I wouldn't want to have to
make a little board just so I could play with this IC, but maybe I will have
to.

Anyway, looking around on Vishay, Infineon and Agilent, it doesn't seem like
I'm going to get any DIP packages, so SMT it is. This will be an interesting
experiment :-)
