sony tape with a dvx100

I have always used a sony vx2100 with sony premium tapes (dvm60pr3) with almost no problems, I also have a Panasonic dvx100 with about 30 hours on it and have used Panasonic tapes for it untill now. (ay-dvm63mq)

Thing is I want start using Sony tapes with the dvx100 because I have a lot of new Sony tapes that I want to use first.

I know that sony and pana tapes have a different kind of lubricant and that it's not recommended to mix them all the time, from what I read it's usually said to choose a brand and just stick with it, wether it is a panasonic or sony tape but I might be wrong here.

Does anyone have any experience in switching from Panasonic to Sony tapes with a dvx100, would I risk getting a cleaning tape message?

I don't want to take the camera in to get the heads cleaned because the camera can't handle the "wet" tapes from Sony since it is used to the "dry" panasonic tapes, if I know it might cause a problem I rather buy some extra Pana tapes to be sure.
