Microcontroller › 8051 › Up down reset counter with 7 segment displays › Programming vs non-programming

I did some research, but i'm missing some fundamental knowledge to choose a direction.

Am I correct if there are two ways to walk this path?
1) A programmable microcontroller like the PIC16F628
2) A non-programmable BCD like the 4510 together with a BCD to 7-segment decoder like the 4511

Is it correct to assum that option numer two doesn't need programming and only connecting the right pins?
I would prefer a non-programmable solution.
