PSoC is from Cypress, and I thought they had some reasonably low priced tools for them, as well as nice normal DIP packages. The FPSLIC is Atmels AVR with attached FPGA, and looks more general but considerably less friendly (the PSoC has some "blocks" that you can connected in assorted standardized ways to get a moderate number of useful periperals while the FPSLIC has a more conventional block of FPGA functionality.)
