[Avid-L2] 100 v 145

 

The next project coming in this week will involve XDCAM footage shot at 35mbit. I'm pretty happy that my XDCAM AMA plug-in still works.
Poking around the new features of 6.5, I'm considering transcoding to DNxHD100 instead of 145.  145 takes three times as long to transcode, and uses 45% more space.
Since the original footage is 35mb, shouldn't DNxHD100 be sufficient? I wouldn't get any benefits from 145, would I?

I've done a split screen test. I don't see any difference, but I want to be sure I'm not throwing away something that will help with color grading later. This is a corporate piece with very few, if any, effects; but will be shown in HD projection.
Thanks for your advice.
