The earlier MiST is expensive and has a much smaller FPGA. I have a SiDi which runs most of the MiST cores but has the same problem with the small FPGA. I wouldn't recommend these two.

Huh, so then I would have two same FPGA boards ? Interesting.
Well, at that point I guess I need to consider whether the annoyance of flashing back and forth is worth whatever the price of MISTer's DE10 board is. Or, in other words - is it worth it to have the ability to run the builds on Vampire AND other Amiga at the same time ? Especially considering that I would target non-Vampire 680X0 only after releasing a Vampire build first. Hmmmmm, something to ponder about...
As for the price, according to digiKey, it's $170 right now:

Now, with MiSTer - do I just buy a board myself and flash it myself with USB Blaster ?
But, if I am just buying a board, then I should consider if there isn't a board that is slightly more expensive but has more gates/logic ?
I'd hate to find out 3 months later that if I only spent , for example, $30 more I could have had a FPGA board with, say, 2x gates/logic!
