Hi Noa
I bought a second-hand DVX100 last year with 19 hours on the clock. No idea which tapes had been in it before but I loaded it with my Sony stock straight off. Within the first hour of recording I got the dreaded red circle with the X (dirty heads). My heart sank but I ran a cleaning tape anyway (once) and since then it has been fine on the Sony's with no problems what so ever (50 hours later). Whether it was just a coincidence I will never know but that's my experience.
If you plan to use Sony's in the long run the you may as well start now. Play with it for a good hour recording and see what happens before you do a gig.
Hope thats of some help
