AVID XPro or MC with Sony Z5U and CF cards at DVinfo.net

I'm looking to but new cameras this season and I am considering the new Sony Z5U with the CF card recorder. Does anyone have experience with the data from the cards and how it behaves with Avid editors? More specifically does the 1080i HDV work I have read horror stories on the AVID site about the 1080p at 24fps HDV not working but I am mainly interested in 30fps performance (I'm a video dude and don't have to pretend to make a film look).

As a side note I am only considering using the 1080p mode for specific green screen work, most shooting will be 1080i. We have a large series of projects coming up with a mother load of keying work. Comments? I know that I will get the HDV suck for keying comments but anything else?

Tks
