F7 needs some more care (it has real caches for code and data), unless you stick to GPIO, a lot of higher complexity peripherals have changed more or less slightly. It is far from a simple recompile. I did the port of the UHSDR F4 to F7 (and H7) so I gained some insights here. Using the STM32 HAL was helpful, but even then it takes some effort. BTW, the CODEC2 part of the UHSDR firmware was just a simple recompile :-) . So YMMV... If the software is based on the MMDVM_HS code, then you have the old StdPeripheral lib code in, which is not available for the STM32F7xx > CODEC2 was almost 1.7x the speed on the F7 compared to F4 for same > clock .

I see prices from 14 Euros to more than 21 Euros for the same STM32H743ZIT6 part here in Europe (and most distributors have zero stock). Next revision will be the first mass produced one and come much later this year. Then prices will (hopefully) drop to be close to the F7 and then there is no reason not to use the H7. Peripherals between H7 and F7 are a lot closer then F4 and F7, at least from the HAL/CubeMX perspective.
