Default SD-100 as second cam to HMC-150

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the SD100 or HS100. think it could be useful as a second cam to the 150 for use in weddings etc. I would potentially use it:

- Manned at back of ceremony
- Unmanned at front (2pm) where manned cameras are not allowed (some churches)
- For a diary room cam unmanned
- Wide angle (possibly unmanned) for 1st dance.

Potential Pros:

- Much cheaper than 2nd 150
- Records same formats as 150 onto SDHC (no 21mbps, but that isn't a deal breaker)
- Has cold shoe and mic in so should be able to attach Videomic
- Size may allow me to use it unmaned
- Less of a disaster if stolen

Potential cons:

- Low light? It is CMOS so might be ok, even with 1/6 sensors
- Doesn't look pro
- Will the image require major adjustments to match exposure colour to the 150?

I would really appreciate any guidance you guys can give. Getting a second 150 is an option as well, but a much more costly one of course.
