A few things: As Roger will tell you, HDV is a combersome, poorly designed format that is on its way out. It is also very difficult to edit in. If you are going for HD, wait a bit until the format has advanced beyond HDV compression. Also wait to buy a camera that uses a more standard (read: cheap) flash memory then the currently popular P2.
I love the DVX100 -- it is the best quality MiniDV ever made and that ever will be made.
I also realize that you have made your decision decision already, but I just wanted to drop my two cents.
Edit: by the way, take advanced digital post with Chris Osborn, or if it's not offered, as him about editing all that HDV.
