Yeah but you've been working with them to make your vision system for a long time!

Have to say though... the power and the parallel processing capability of FPGA's is enticing... though i've herd the compilers for FPGA's as well as the hardware itself is extremely expensive, little out of the range of most of us unless its for a 'real' project not a fun project.

Anyhow, the possibilities are interesting...
