Rob, I don't want to come off as an expert here, so please get second opinions... but I'd think that yes, it's the same idea - no pulldown required while working. While this may seem like a good solution, I think if the project ultimately has to go back to film speed, it could just be confusing since working with a pulldown has been the normal procedure. Plus, you'd have to now apply a pull-up on the layback. If the project is never going back to film speed, then it seems like a great idea.

If you're transferring into PT digitally, you'd probably want to have a pull-up on, at 30fps, then take the pull-up off and switch to 29.97, but I haven't done this.
