I've been able to successfully roundtrip to Resolve via EDL. I think a big hangup is that you need Reel identifiers and unique clip names, which is a problem for a lot of card-based media.

It sounds like you will be able to color correct/grade in Premiere for basic needs.
I think you mentioned using Warp Stabilizer earlier in AE? If you are upgrading to CS6, Premiere Pro now has Warp Stabilizier & somewhat easier color correction.

Yes, all very true.
One workflow that hits both strengths would be to edit nativity with Premiere, and then only transcode the material you need to correct. You could do this either by using the project manager to consolidate media you need, or u | | | | |

Ryan Patch is right that there is no added bit-depth, color information, or resolution added to a file that you transcode. The file can ever only be as good as what you capture it on originally. Period.

I retract that, it appears that it's an issue with how Premiere exports EDLs.
Let me explain:
EDLs use inside/outside cuts.
If I have a clip that goes from 18:03:36:04 to 18:03:47:20, the EDL displays it as 18:03:36:04 to 18:03:47:21 since the | | | | |

Looks like it's a bug with Speedgrade.
-The EDL is exported at 24fps
-The footage timecode is 24fps
-Speedgrade's project and footage settings are both set to 24fps
So why is Speedgrade losing a frame? Time for a bug report.
