      Given the network wants DNX 145 instead of DNX 220X clearly storage space is more important. 

      Not really.
      Since broadcasts are (afaik) most of the time 8 bits, and are finished already, it makes no sense to have 10 bits shows to broadcast. And, it is ‘good enough’
      Over here MpegII (aka Sony XDcam) is the standard. That is just 50 Mbits, but long GOP. Small, compatible, elegant (even when it is a quite old codec.).
      ‘good enough’, and practical.

      What I don’t get, how is outputting a show to tape and re-digitize faster than a mixdown and export? That takes (besides setting up) 2 times RT. Any half decent machine should outperform that.
      (And, does your facility has only one computer? You could capture on any el cheapo machine with a BM mini recorder or alike. That would also eliminate the resolution loss (HDcam is 1440 instead of 1920, not?))
