A lot?  Somewhere I got the impression you already had the PCI interface

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.
