Well, the ARM ATtiny rival would be this one (8KB Flash, 1KB RAM): http://nl.farnell.com/freescale-semiconductor/mke04z8vtg4/mcu-32bit-cortex-m... I can't come up with any convincing reasons to use an ATtiny instead.
mke04z8vtg4: EUR 6.91, 100 pins attiny10: EUR 0.62, 6 pins
Apart from the factor 10+ in price difference, I know which one I'd rather solder...
Are we looking at the same part? The link above goes to the Farnell part, which costs: EUR 0.59 in quantities from 10 up.
As to the soldering, the part has 16 pins, albeit TSSOP style. You need to get used to it, but in effect soldering it is not really slower than a 16 pin DIP part.
