Thanks for your comments.
The FPGA accounts a tiny fraction of the board cost.
It does look like a XC3S1200E-4FTG256C would shave the cost
down a little, and add a few more gates besides. There are
non-trivial changes in the pinout, though. I'm not sure I
want to deal with that on a respin.
The INA138 was in-stock at Digi-Key when I laid out the board,
and we managed to get enough to build the first six (although
they were removed, because I made a pin numbering mistake on
the layout). When Digi-Key first ran out of stock, I looked
for alternatives, but couldn't find any I liked.
