No AVR are more or less sold out till next spring.
I ordered 100ps 90S2313 a while ago and got 5ps actually delivered.
There are still some dil parts out there, mostly at 2 time the normal price.
It seems you can forget about soic and tqfp completely :((

I've even considered to go for PIC,
however the PIC instructionset and (lack off) registers made me decide to
wait for better times.

The SX uC looks like a better alternative,
still the AVR is easier to work with (well just my opinion o'cause).
