I've got a series of spots coming up.  After years of SD deliverables, client has requested we start finishing HD versions.  

DG FastChannel will accept 720 or 1080.  

Seems to me that finishing in 720 is the quickest way to delivery.  It gives me some room to pan & scan with 1080 material, rendering to 720 is faster, and my storage and backup will be easier.  Seems like a slam dunk case for finishing 720.

But... to those of you who can shed some light... Am I missing anything by not finishing in 1080?

Thanks,
Jim C.
