OP here - Yup, I did ask for a comparison.  Good discussion so far but I haven't
heard anything that would make me want to move to ARM.  From my original post:

"My projects are mostly personal and, in general, are not especially processor
intensive.  I am working on one project that I intend to market (Small market,
realistically probably no more than 200-300 units).  I use a variety of digital I/O,
ADC inputs, PWM, USART, TWI, just now getting into CAN, have not yet used USB ..."

The only thing I would add to that is that, as my projects have become more complex
I've moved up in flash size but, so far, 16k has been enough and I'm just now moving
to a ATMega32 anticipating some more complex protocol layers.

So, anyone have a comparison of ease of programming, better peripheral mix, or other
processor family characteristics?
 
Cheers,
