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 ?...

Cyclone V boards from Terasic are a good starting point and are under $200.

Is this still true, given that the Cyclone is being discontinued? (see announcement) Perhaps it is still the best selection for finding FPGA demo and development kits, but it looks like some or all Cyclones are to be no more. Perhaps there is a new Altera FPGA that replaces it?

Hope this helps.
