It's a darn tempting thing, because you get an EP2S60 "for a limited
time". Unfortunately that means that you won't be able to get updates
once your one-year subscription expires, since it won't work with webpack.
It's still tempting, though. M-RAM and multiplier arrays, and of course
more speed.
Presumably there will be a Cyclone II version eventually, too. Cyclone
II has multipliers, but no M-RAM, and is presumably slower than Stratix II.
