I find PIC32 lots easier. The peripherals are similar, though setting up
the oscillator is a bit more complex. The added resources (RAM in
particular) makes development quicker. The PIC32 may be a bit more
expensive but relatively, particularly in the case of small scale
development, the added features, speed, and development features more than
makes up for it (IMO)
