Compare of ease of use between EVAL-AD5940, EVAL-ADUCM355 and EVAL-ADUCM350

Question

Dear friends, 
 I would like to choose between these three EVALs. And I concern about the ease of use. 
 Q1: 
 I learn from the user 's manual that AD5940 is similar to ADUCM355, but the former needs an additional micro controller(EVAL-AD5940 offer Arduino UNO). Will this brings any differences? Like difficulties when coding or communication. 
 Q2: 
 ADUCM355 has an ARM M3 as controller. Can I use an additional MCU to control it? 
 Q3: 
 I would appreciate it if you experienced engineers can briefly talk about the compare of ease of use of them.(Coding, operability, possible limitations , ...)

Hi, 
 1) EVAL-AD5940 kits come with EVAL-ADICUP3029 baseboard (containing the microcontroller) and ready to use examples in github 
 ( ad5940-examples/examples at master &middot; analogdevicesinc/ad5940-examples &middot; GitHub ), easing immediate dumping and verification. 
 
 2) An external microcontroller can be easily interfaced with ADuCM355. 
 
 3) All the three eval boards have detailed firmware examples for running and easy testing. 
 (ADuCM355: aducm355-examples/examples at master &middot; analogdevicesinc/aducm355-examples &middot; GitHub 
 ADuCM350: examples come with the eval kit at path: C:\Analog Devices\ADuCM350BBCZ\Eval-ADUCM350EBZ\examples) 
 Chronological order : 
 1. ADuCM350 
 2. ADuCM355 (more features integrated) 
 3.AD5940 (Latest)
