The PICs being so dirt cheap, I designed my first 6 controller board just a few weeks ago. That is a board not bigger than 10x6cm. I even find it more convenient to take a PIC rather than a simple NE555 for example. That would have sound crazy a couple of years ago, I know....
The only thing that is a bit inconvenient is programming 6 controllers on 1 board. You either need to program them before soldering them, use tricks that allow you to multiplex them to a single programming port or use 1 programming port for each controller. For my circuit I choose the latter one, it wasn't my first choice but it ended up to be the best choice.
