Frankly, I think $200 for any Apple II product is insane and way outof line unless you only want to sell less than 10. The A2 market is pretty darn limited as it is.
Unfortunately, once you start with a fat CPLD or FPGA and some RAM, and getting prototype quantities of cards made, then you're looking at some pretty expensive boards, even just to get your money back!
Which is why I'd suggest using an FPGA and putting 3-4 peripherals on there, such as USB (for keyboard, mouse) and Compact Flash interface, together with the VGA adapter. Make them all appear as legacy Apple II peripherals so no drivers needed.
The market may bear a higher price for a multi-function card?!? Regards, Mark
