It's obvious that the discrete version will be smaller and easier to construct, but it won't be so flexible ie. I can make the LED's flash or something with the microcontroller version...
go for the descrete, the controls for the microcontroller will be a pain and take up uneeded time really but otherwise i think it is really taking shape
