an old question about buying dsp starter kit

I am learning how to implement DSP algorithms on hardware now and I
plan to buy a DSK. It is a quite old question and I have done some
research on the news group. what kind of board fits me well? I have
several ideas:

for second hand

1)TI C6711/C6211 DSK, they are old but they can be acquired as second
hand items from ebay and cheap. (a bad news I heard from my friend is,
the 6211 DSK he bought from ebay is with the chip "TMX320C6211 which
is an experimental chip)

for new DSK, i would say

2)Spectrum digital C6713 DSK

3)AD SHARC EZ-LITE, there is a university program and the price seems
reasonable.

Which one is better especially considering that I also want to
continue working on the DSK for my future study? and if anyone knows I
can get some good second hand DSKs? will I find second hand 6713 or AD
EZ lite?

Thanks

If you are not too keen on 6x, OMAP innovator platform is awesome. Cool
stuff to play around with. Might be a little bit more expensive though. But
accessories you get along with it are amazing.

oops... innovator turns out to be really expensive...might not be the best
thing for just implementing DSP algorithms....
and that too when you are looking at floating point DSPs like 67x
