I'm finding a low-cost FPGA development kit/board just to start working with them. I'd like to make some tests with soft processors inside the FPGA.

I found two boards: BEMICRO from Altera (49$) and LX9 Microboard from Xilinx (89$). Have you any other suggestions? What do you prefer between them?

I tried to find and buy used boards on Internet, but without success.
 

I would suggest Digilent for a Xilinx development board, they manufacture many of development boards Xilinx markets directly.

Digilent, Inc.

They also have an excellent academic program, so if you are in school you should be able to qualify for their academic discounts.

Another neat feature with Digilent dev boards are the PMODs, which allow you to add various features and peripherals with ease:

Altera also has an academic program, although their development gear tends to be a little pricey compared to Xilinx gear.
