I edit with both and the PB is perfect for onsite work. realtime rendering to me isn't neccessary with the PB because I plan my time on site and don't usually have client sitting over looking for instant PB. That said, render times are nothing compared to the days of editing analog with the Accom Stratasphere. 30 minutes for 30 sec of video!
I use the Black Magic decklink card with the X-serve with 1TB of storage to edit analog Betacam SP and it rocks. Want to see if Motion is a worthy alternative to pricey After Effects, but use AE often because FCP's DVE engine sucks. I would, if you can, wait for NAB and see what FCP5 & tiger can do. just my 2 cents.
