Cyclone III FPGA starter kit or cyclone II starter development kit?

Hi, I have been programming AVR chips for a while but now I want to get into something more complicated with more stuff to do and heard about FPGA. I was wondering witch kit I would learn better with Cyclone III FPGA starter kit or cyclone II starter development kit or if you think if there are better learning kits out there you would recommend, also if there are any good books from experience that teaches VHDL clearly.
