In terms of sharpness, maybe the TRV900 or maybe the
PC100/110/TRV20/30, but in terms of color balance,
surprisingly, the TRV11/17/PC5/9... I use this one
(TRV11) and the TRV900 in multi-camera shoots with
two VX2000s, and it needs less color correction
than one of the VX2000s(!) and the TRV900 to match
up the color-balance in interiors. Best, though, is
a second VX-2000 - the TRV900 is good enough for
fairly long cutaways (with a lot of color correction),
and the TRV11 for short cutaways, but neither matches
the sharpness and overall image quality of the VX2000
for similarly-framed-but-alternate-side shots - the
differences would show...
