Scene File settings to match SD HVX and DVX footage

Hey all,
What type of consistency have you found between scene-file settings on the HVX200 vs. DVX100b ? If we use identical settings in the scene file, how close would the footage match?

We're going to be shooting a live concert to be commercially released as a DVD-bonus for a band, and my camera setup has a mixture of HVX's and 100b's. HVX's will be on cross-coverage about 25' from the stage and 100b's will be against the stage for hand-held close-ups. All cams are going to MiniDV tape, so I figure the distance from the action should offset the HVX's slightly higher detail to a close-up of DVX footage.

Does anyone have anything to keep in mind from experience of using both cameras on a shoot?
 
They don't match up with the same settings, you have to do some tweaking with them. As I remember I had to set the HVX master pedestal to -4 to match the DVX at -8, for example.
