Jason,
We're not making the assumption that firewire is a flawless transfer platform. We're trying to find out if one sounds better than the other, not just documenting differences between the platforms. This may seem like reinventing the wheel, but we want to hear for ourselves.

md5 is your friend
yeah, i make an md5 on the 722 before transfer w/ md5summer, then once transferred i verify the md5 in md5summer, believe it or not, ive had to re-transfer a few files, so EVERYONE should be doing that method IMO, as always YMMV
How are you doing this, Bean? Walk a brother through it please. Thanks.
just open md5summer, then find the 722 HD under 'my computer'
pick the wav/s you want to make an md5 for, i make one md5 per file, or per set
once md5 summer makes trhe md5 file, just copy to your destination, then verify md5 in md5summer
DONE
and if you dont have firmware version 1.79 beta, grab it, firewire speeds are 2x as fast as version 1.74, although 1.74 is a verified rock solid firmware
at moedown i got hosed on one set, not sure it was from version 1.79 or user error, i sent SD a detailed email regarding the issue tho
have fun w/ your new toy, its gonna sound so good on its own, youre gonna sell the v3, and maybe buy a v2 since the 722's AD is much superior to the v3's ADC IMHO
if you EVER have questions about the 722, just shoot me a PM
