ARM7TDMI -- Jtag debugger...

I'm interested in purchasing a demo board for an ARM7TDMI-based
microcontroller (a Philips LPC2129 to be exact.) That's fine with me,
it only costs ~$150.

I want be able to debug it with a JTAG debugger, so ~$300 debuggers by
Keil and/or Nohau come to mind.

Salespeople tell me that I can't just stick the Jtag onto the demo
board, but that I would also need to buy their full $2000+ development
suite.

I feel that if I buy the full development suite (especially with my
own money since this isn't for work), i'll have the word "sucker"
printed all over my forehead.

Isn't all I need just the demo board, a limited free compiler (from
where?), a PC, and the JTAG debugger??
