Well, in case you are interested (I would but I don't have the time)
it seems that Freescale is offering a somwhat cheaper board:
http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/technologies/development-tools/development-tool-hardware/Pages/8133548-P2020RDB-PA.aspx
Dual core (not found the frequency) with 1 GB of RAM, still ~$600 (they
could/should have saved on the Ethernet switch, why 6 ports ?),
but the other one is $3500...
