[Avid-L2] XDCam file based DNX resolution?

 

Got a show coming up that I'm told is XDCam 35Mbps file based.  I don't know yet if this is XDCam EX,  XDCam HD or XDCam EX HQ.  It seems obvious that DNX 145 should be more than enough when it comes time to online.  145 Mbps is a lot more than 35 Mbps but am I missing something subtle in the digital food chain.  DNX 220 is well within my sndx 4.0.5 mac system for storage and data rate but no reason to use more space than is needed.  Now for the geek question.  Would it make a difference to online with the XDCam in native format?  Is there a quality benifit to doing this and if so would it even be noticeable.  I'm of the AMS school, which is get it to "Avid Media Stupid."  Just curious what others think.  TIA
