Hi,
It looks like these files are encoded with different levels (the sub black bar can not be recovered on the 175 file) - are you 100% sure your level settings on export out of avid are the same?
If they are the same I would go for the x version because of increased bit depth but also it is not clipping sub black and super white. I don't know why they are different though... As for monitoring have you experimented with the 'Output pixel format' in the decklink global settings in Fusion? try the 10 bit RGB option as that may account for the levels shift you are seeing on the external monitor/scopes.
What workflow are you aiming towards? Reason I ask is because i'd rather stay away from quicktime and opt for mxf instead - same codec just different wrapper (and one that has not got a history of playing silly buggers with video levels of files!)
