"always" is a strong word, and newer isn't *always* better, and IME  
this is especially true when it comes to building a reliable and  
bug-free product.  For example, I remember going backwards to the  
16F877 IIRC after the F877A had EEPROM retention issues.  Yes, the  
newer products may have more stated features for a better price, but  
if those features are not needed, then why risk going with an unproven  
product?  Even companies like Microsoft has proven this time and time  
again.
