Hi,

Specvially if it is used for learning purposes, you will find it VERY useful
and instructive. Good quality audio, video, networking, 2 PowerPCs, DDR
module... quite a lof fun!

If you can only get the industrial pricing, I'd recommend you look for
something V4, V5 or even better, V6 based. As well, if this is going top be
used in a new product, V2Pro is maybe not the best thing you can find
nowadays, there are way better other offerings in the market, not only from
Xilinx, but from Altera, Lattice, etc.
