Hi
I want to interface a microcontroller and zigbee transceiver for home automation project.
When i browsed through atmel's website. I found the following models in which they are already interfaced and available in a chip format.

The atmel's web page for the wireless chips is
http://www.atmel.com/products/zigbee/default.asp?family_id=676&source=main_nav
But i dont know what is the difference between these 2.
Which is better for my project?
The first one is cheaper than the second.
Also i would like to know if the chip itself contains the antenna in the above 2 cases or should we attach an antenna separately?
If there is some other better chip available for this kindly let me know.
Thanks..
