I completely grok the "more expensive" part. However, I will stick to my guns on the point that if it is not _too much_ more expensive, we will be wildly successful. Whereas if it is _really_ expensive, well, I have my doubts about the "wildly" part. I'm doing a little research on 3S parts availability and prices, for my own edification. This isn't 100% for sure yet, but it looks like the 3S4000 is several times as expensive as the 3S2000. Unless Xilinx is willing to make an attractive offer, I would advocate going with the 3S2000. Besides, the 3S4000 will generate a lot more heat. The probability of getting free Linux tools from Xilinx is higher with the smaller part, for some reason nigh beyond comprehension.
