Which FPGA/CPLD dev-kit should I go for ?

I want to learn more about Avalon interfaces, Quartus Platform Designer, NIOS II, etc. I know people may have preferences, but for learning more about digital design, which board should I go for ?...

The Cyclone V GX Starter Kit has a price of $179 (Terasic Website)

a kit with around 77K Logic Elements

It also has

HDMI Video Output

Plenty of other interfaces

SDCard Slot

4Gb LPDDR2

4Mb SRAM

etc

If you want to understand

Platform Designer

NIOS

the mSGDMA controller & a Video Frame Buffer for HDMI

then

the files I put on the altera wiki a while ago may help you.
