Sorry but that's the cheapest AFAIK. There are others out there
(Lauterbach) which cost 7.000 .- € (but I didn't check recetnly).

You need the JTAG stuff only if you do real bootloader development on
these boards (and not even necessarily then depending on the way you
test).
If you never touch the bootloader, you will (probably) never need a BDI
or similar.
So for Kernel development as such, forget the BDI IMHO. Get a board
which "supports Linux" (which pretty much every board does).
On this you boot the Kernel from the net and mount the root-fs via NFS.
Voila.
