Well, if you compare OGD1 to other FPGA development boards
out there, you can get a lot cheaper boards, yes. But if
you look at the features, and be it just the FPGA size,
we are the cheapest out there.

So the ciritic is right, but only if you just want a
board with an FPGA on it without any size requirement,
without any high speed ADC on it and without any 
DVI links.
