I just got an email from Adobe touting the new features of Premiere Pro 1.5.  One of the features I'm really excited about is native support for my Panasonic DVX100's 24p and 24pa modes.  If done correctly, it would really reduce the number of steps in my 24p editing pipeline.  It's got a pretty compelling upgrade price of $99.  I haven't decided to get it.  I'd like to line up a specific project to use it on before I spring for it.

I haven't had the opportunity to try out Vegas Video, but one of the selling points there was the 24p support.  This may turn the tide a bit.
