A lot?

Not from me. My feeling is: if I load logic into the card that destroys the PCI interface, then I'll happily fall back to using the jtag interface. I'll just be careful not do mess that up too often, so as not to have to use the less convenient interface. I would not want to pay an extra, say $20, just to be unable to destroy the PCI interface.
