hm XP10 was available last month, I think the XP6 is also available as there are readily available (from stock) eval boards with soldered XP6 on it, so they have been available- only ES as far as I know though.

No. I dont have 60EUR from my pocket for the eval board. (I have too many eval boards already in private posession).

I just did see yesterday that the developer of the lattice eval boards who works with MSC has the new XP6 based board in stock available for immediate delivery.

But... I do have a board with Lattice EC on my desk, the EC is used PLL and configuration controller to boot a Virtex4, so doing some simple design with the EC was very easy. Knowing Lattice tools from the past (isp1016 !) I did expected it to be easy.

As the XP is basically the EC with onchip flash then, then I would not expect much more problem with XP as well.

Antti PS a warning for V4 users: check out the datasheet all pins that have _LC_ do not have LVDS output capability (all bank 0..3 on some packages), just a firendly notice to avoid some burned fingers. Its not so clear from the V4 datasheet unless you read it very carefully.
