The 7707 is slightly slower than the 7709, but what it has is
an extraordinary array of on-chip peripherals.

If you were going to build a one-chip system, this would be
the one you'd pick.

I am currently holding onto some work which puts the 7707 in
a CONFIG class of its own.

Not sure.  But there's no point compiling support for non-7707
on-chip peripherals if it's not a 7707.
