Does anybody have experience with the Altium CircuitStudio 2004 product compared with Altera's MAX+PLUS II Baseline (or other such products) that he could share?

Altium CircuitStudio 2004 vs for FPGA support

Not yet. But on the way. However these are a different kind of tools. While the Altium tool is concerned with the FPGA on a board, the free webtools, such as MaxPlus2 do not care about the pcb. EG the Altium tool is able to optimally assign the pin such that the routing on the pcb is simple. On MaxPlus2, the pin assignment has to be done manually.

I forgot to add : The Altium Tolls require the free web versions of Xilinx, Altera and such to do the actual (routing-)work. The Altium tools are therefore to be regarded as layer on top of the others.
