The problem is: Is your card 5V tolerant when some other card delivers 5V
signals.
Xilinx Spartan II is 5 Volt tolerant and could fit here, newer families are
_not_ 5V tolerant. Spartan II E can be made 5 Volt tolerant with additional
resistors.

Are you doing a single board or some few or are you going for a bigger
number. Only then I would consider doing my own board. Otherwise the Memec
board will be cheaper.
