[Avid-L2] Living in the last decade....

We air on 13 local stations in rural Japan, and are still delivering to
the stations on HDCAM tape.
We just got word that with Sony no longer supporting HDCAM deck repair,
most of these independent stations will be switching to deliverables on
XDCAM HD disks.

No experience with XDCAM disks so far. Since we will only be using it
for deliverables, I'm wondering if the USB drive (PDW-U2) is the way to
go, with Avid's "Export to device..." or if it is better/faster/more
stable to use an XDCAM HD deck with all the usual HDSDI ins & outs,
RS422 control, and Digital Cut.

Googling has not been too helpful....
Any advice from those who have used XDCAM is greatly appreciated!
