Don't forget a much more versatile intosc with 1% prec, 8 step "gearbox" and 8 Mhz without any ext. components. The USART is a EUSART with (e.g.) a 16 bit baud rate register for "closer" buad rates. The F688 has a 10-bit ADC (F628 only comparators). And (what I like) is that the F688 is quite like the 8- pin F683. So they plays well together...
