- You omitted a crucial issue, two actually: what's the production volume,
- and what's the budget? Doing this with high-end PLDs of one flavor or
- another will have a high up-front overhead: big bucks for the programmer
- and design software (you can't build your own, they won't tell you how),
- plus some effort adapting your design to whatever flavor of chip you use.
