Greg,
This is significant news to me as I use a Kona 3 with FCP and have ordered an IO Express to use with Media Composer. I can grudgingly tolerate not being able to use the Kona 3 with Avid but not at inferior quality.
I wonder if you could test whether the lower quality is a result of the down-conversion or the frame rate conversion? If it's the down-conversion then I have a solution in mind.

There's a software switch in the AJA control panel to flip back-and-forth between the two devices. Not sure if they work simultaneously, but I'm also not sure how you'd use that anyway.
