I used the SOIC version mounted on a DIP adapter pcb, though it wasn’t such a high price in DIP when I got them it was still cheaper in SOIC.
I had looked at a few similar devices, but most of them don’t have the chip enable control in the DIP8 and the board I was working on didn’t have space to fit a DIP14.
