Contour HD POV H264 (29.97 1280x720/59.94 848x480) into PAL DV25/HDV 50i?

I've been desperately looking for lightweight simple to operate, integrated all in one recorder/battery/bullet camera POV, to be attached on crash helmet for multi cam event motorsport production, and I'm beginning to think I've found one in the ContourHD, and it's affordable enough to risk crashing.

However and here's the thing it only records in NTSC, and they have no plans currently to develop a PAL version, consequently I have the prospect of working with SD files at 59.94 frames per sec 848x480 or HD 1280x720 @ 29.97, and I have 8 other cameras shooting 1080 50i, and I'm multi clipping either as DV PAL or Pro Res HDV 1080 50i.

Now before I jump in and purchase, anybody using the ContourHD, any problems, I can find precious little in terms of 'expert' reviews on the web, more the gadget press? So anybody trying to incorporate Contour footage in PAL land, any "gotchas" that have left you stuffed? Or are converting the Contour footage in say MegaStreamClip to PAL frame rates, before bringing it into FCP?

If no one has experience of this, I've just downloaded RAW files from their website and dropped them both SD & HD files and although they need rendering to play once in FCP, FCP does they seem to be able to convert them, with a little scaling, can I assume they won't present FCP any other issues? I'm particularly thinking further into the DVD workflow, the far side when rendering out assets in Compressor to DVD Studio Pro? Will I fear see rendering artifacts or degradation or frame dominance issues? I of course appreciate that the footage won't be able to join the DV footage in a multiclip, but take it that I can lay this POV clip on the next video track above the multiclip,as I've done with broken clips, cutting in the shots I'd like, and render?

Any thoughts appreciated.
