Using 1080i50 in a 720p30 sequence... Can I do this and then print PAL?

Hi,
I just shot a music video, and my camera shoots a 1080i50. My editing suite is FCE 3.5.1, which is pretty good, apart from its limited sequence settings.
Since the maximum output I will need for the video is 720p, I wanted to try editing it directly at 720p, however the only sequence preset for that resolution is a 720p30. What happens if i put an i50 in a p30 sequence, and can I then print this back to tape in a PAL framerate? I imagine that I could export (Using Quicktime) at a 720p25 to file, but I am a little worried that I will be unable to print the movie back to tape in a format that PAL television will be able to broadcast, since it is FCE that prints to video.
Thanks for your help,
t

Hi Tom,
no, I don't have a deck, and will be using the camera to print back to tape. Therefore I think you have answered my question. The only reason why I wanted to try the edit in 720 was to see if it would be a faster render for editing, and also allowing me a tiny about of leeway for basic motion in the edit.
But no worries, I shall work as per normal.
Thanks,
t
