There will be very little difference in the look of the vid. You'll want to experiment yourself to make your own judgements.
Just drop your 25p into a 24p timeline, or set the render for the current project to 24p. Since you've already got 25p, you won't need to change anything at all, except the framerate in an existing 25p template. I'd recommend taking a fairly static scene, and a fairly busy/high movement scene, and rendering both out, and then viewing on your television. I'd be surprised if you found a significant difference. I don't see one that is worth the effort, but you might feel differently. I've also never done this with PAL-acquired footage, only HDV. (going from 25p to 24p)
