I had a DVX200... because of the limitations and lack of 10-BIT color output at 60P I got rid of it.

SO I then cobled up another solution: GH5 + B4 HD Lens + Atomos Inferno.

I have to say it worked out pretty decent. Having an all manual lens has its disadvantages, but also advantages.

Here are some sample footage I took with an XA17.7.6 Lens:

Going to be your call, I think both lenses look nice, I seem to recall the XA series was lower cost but still great performance, I wanted one for my 2/3 inch broadcast cam, was out of my budget at the time. I don't know about the DVX first hand, would expect you would gain speed and handling, it is a video camera after all, smoother stabilization and autofocus. Your manual focus skill seems pretty sharp to me. The GH5 I would expect you could potentially have better image on tap due to MFT/10 bit/codec etc., but with action shooting like you do, video cam automation could be a differentiator.
