The issue was, that the formal quotes for pieces in 5k quantities
where a factor of 20 above the prices quoted by Xilinx for 250k
quantities.
And nobody in this group really believed that you get a 95% volume
discount.

It's not as bad in my case. I only have to pay a factor of 7 more for
1k quantities.
