I am pretty much in the same position as you, just getting into HD. I decided to spend the extra money (it’s not that much really), for the MB Extreme. It all hasn’t arrived yet (so far, just the new G5 and extra RAM), but my decision was based on my need to deal with whatever comes down the pike, given the proliferation of formats, etc. It’s about an extra grand, and I think the additional functionality is well worth it — I can capture/edit/monitor everything from 3/4″ to 1/2 film rez (so long as my drives can handle it).

Simply amazing what you can get now for the money. I remember back in the mid-90s looking at a Media100 XS system thinking how much it did for $25k
