We need to replace an ACEX 1K FPGA model EP1K100. The suggested replacement for ACEX 1K is the MAX V; however, the MAX V only has 2210 LEs which isn't enough (EP1K100 has 4992 LEs). The MAX 10 is a better match. Is this an appropriate choice?

We're using Quartus II 9.0sp2 Web Edition. There is very little custom code and most of the design is using the MegaWizard Plug-Ins. I reviewed the other FPGAs and the MAX 10 and Cyclone 10 seem like the best fit. The Cyclone 10 has a lot more LEs and more capability that we currently require, but might be a good fit for our next generation product which we will be developing in the next couple of years. Right now our requirement is a direct replacement for the design based on the ACEX 1K.
