Same thing happened to me quite some time ago.
Know what I did?
I went back to shooting again!
Now I shoot 60% of the time and still edit too.
Best of both worlds.

I was one of those on DVXuser who compared HIGHER end Sd glass to the lower end CAC HD glass. I took a J series Canon off of my DSR-500 and put it on another company’s HPX-500 that had the “kit” CAC lens. To MY eye the higher end SD lens looked better and had better contrast. Now on the long and short ends of the lens, nice HD glass resolution WILL be more apparent.
When I finally pulled the trigger on buying my HPX two weeks ago, I scored a great deal on a nice Angenieux wide angle HD 2/3″ lens that looks simply incredible on the HPX.
For a lot of clients, a NICE SD lens will be “good enough”.

Ron Amborn is the president of maxxdigital.
I chose them because of Walter’s and Bob Zellin’s recommendation.

Even the Red Camera has the rolling shutter issue:

“I am considering running the mics into the middle wide-shot camera, with the left and right camera using the on camera mics. ”
I’ll address this part of your post. DON’T do this!
Use a mixer, run your mics into the mixer, and then run one of the outputs to EACH of your cameras, using some Y splitters if necessary.
You want ALL of your cameras to have the same sound source. Syncing audio from a long form studio shoot in post is unnecessary and not smart.

Also be sure to use the BPRESS Gamma setting for the least noise.

It makes absolutely no sense to capture in 4:4:4 as betacam is 4:2:2 to begin with. 8 bit uncompressed is what I usually use when working with BSP and it looks fine.
