As in anything, you can have it all if you're willing to pay for it.
Below is a list of the features available on the Parallax Professional Development Board. It sells for $149US Qty 1 and that doesn't include the stamp. It has lots of bells and whistles but if you had to trim the fat what would you mind losing the least?
Personally I'd keep the RS232, 5V power supply, solderless breadboard, maybe a 10K pot and I'd like to add a 16x1 LCD as standard.
PS it'll have a 16F88 with an ICD2 connector as the CPU (not a stamp)
