Has anyone looked at TI's new (as of 2019) 74HCS series for use as glue logic? A brief look at the docs indicates propagation delays between HC and AHC with somewhat lower power demand. HCS has no DIP packages, and functional variety that's broader than AHC but not so much as HC (note: I haven't looked over NXP's AHC portfolio).
Unless you need Schmidt trigger inputs I can't see why one would opt for HCS over AHC or HC. Or maybe I'm missing something?
