Simple familly and package to run a NIOSII softcore at a non critical design

My initial dream was to purchase the DE2-115 dev kit from TerasIC, but due to issues related to excessive taxing and long time deliver to my country, the final cost would become quite prohibitive; this is my particular project, not corporate. Concerning to order the individual parts and assemble the board, at first sight could sound like no sence, but I have access to some assembling facilities which encourage to do like this.

By the way, still on the Cyclone IV family based on non-BGA package, do you know another part that could fit to the requirements for this design, or seems like the one above stay with the top features for the QFP derivative ?

Thanks once again.
