The DE0-CV is a bit more expensive, but I think it's probably better than the Nano for the FPGA 101 type experiments. It's got more on the way of switches and LEDs, and the buttons are a lot easier to get to. I have both, and I had a lot more fun with low level learning activities with the CV than the Nano. Moving past that, I also enjoyed messing with the VGA and SD card peripherals more than the ADC and accelerometer, and also found those easier to add on after the fact.
