spartan3E price

For the same quantity, package and kgates, the s3E will be more or less
expensive than the S3 ?

less.
that is what has been told, but make sure the availability for your project
it may come too late

Less! That's the whole idea...
But watch whether your package and density is available. If it is, it
will be chaeper.

What about similar packages - for instance, a S3-1500 vs a S3E-1600?

Jeremy,

The Spartan 3E represents a relayout, with improved design rules, and
other optimizations to reduce area, improve yield, and overall reduce
the cost.

One family is optimized for logic per $, and the other is optimized for
IO per $.

If both families have the logic, and the IO needed to do you
application, then I would say that the new 3E family will have the $
edge since it is the third generation 90nm product in the line.
