They can compete, with the peripherals. But those have to be of good
performance and most of all versatile enough. Some things can probably
be achieved in simple ways. For example, by providing the option to map
two pins per ADC channel for folks who need it to be low noise.

Bingo! That would be fantastic.

I hope this doesn't rub you the wrong way but Atmel often ain't that
great either when it comes to peripherals. When I looked at the
"reference" in the ATMega2560 that we just designed in I almost got
sick. In the relayout we piped in our own reference.
