"Snickerdoodle"-like board using Altera CY5 SoC?

I have a Quick look on here:

http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/view/documentation/board#fq=field_device_s%3a%22cyclone%20v%22

The EBV Socrates

http://www.ebv.com/products/product-details/5797/socrates

and the Enclustra Murcuary SA1

http://www.enclustra.com/en/products/system-on-chip-modules/mercury-sa1/

Look the most suitable/similar. But theres no info on price.

Thanks 'Tricky' -

A quick check of the items referenced shows that:

The Enclustra Mercury SA1 pricing starts at $385 USD and goes up from there.

HumanData has Cyclone V-based SoM boards, but are pricey (starting at $397 USD(!)):

Here are other boards I have looked at

While I have found many Xilinx-based SoM boards, here are that have attractive pricing, small form factor and more than 100 GPIO user pins (LVTTL-compatible):

Numato "Saturn" board, Spartan 6, 118-145 user GPIO pins on 0.1" headers, $119-$136:

Ztex "2.01" board just barely squeaks by with 100 GPIO pins, Spartan 6, ~$109 USD:

Myirtech "Z-Turn" Zynq/10 or /20-based board, $109-$119 USD, 96/106 user GPIO pins (we'll let the count squeak by):

Myirtech "MYC-7010/7020 CPU Module", $139-$159 USD, 100-125 user GPIO pins,

http://www.myirtech.com/list.asp?id=525

The MYIR ("Make Your Idea Real") board is the most attractive X-based board at this point since it uses the Zynq chip, with the Numato Spartan 6/45 module a previous-generation runner up.

Back in Altera-land, I found the Denx MCV-2DB module, starting at ~150 USD and up, supposedly 145 user pins:

which looks promising.

I'm trying to get Socrates II pin count, price and ordering information, but it has been frustrating trying to get info from the various web sources so far.

Thanks for the hints, and so the search continues.

I am disappointed to see a Xilinx part used in the Snickerdoodle, but hopefully somebody knows of something similar but Altera-based. Please don't make me go to the dark side...

snickerdoodle = 240 GPIO pins + ARM + FPGA + 2.4GHz Wi-Fi + Bluetooth + BLE + a mobile app for $55 (or 270 I/O pins + a 3x bigger FPGA and 30% faster ARM + 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi for $140)

And a bunch of baseboards to plug into for networking, video processing, etc.
