You could consider a 16F883.  Is cheap, fast and powerful.  yeah, it has 
more pins but... you will love it.

I think 16F887 can be a real replacement for the 16F877A. 

Is cheaper (it costs the half or less), it has internal oscillator that 
can run from 31Khz upto 8MHz. 
It has more AD channels, usart with autobaud, nanowatt technology.
