Should I get a 4K camera to do 1080p?

I make commercials for local broadcast.  All spots are delivered in 1080p.  I currently shoot 1080p with a broadcast camera and record from the camera's SDI out to an Atomos Samurai Blade as DNxHD 220x files.   In Symphony, I can easily AMA link and consolidate the DNxHD footage before editing.  The workflow is fast and reliable.

I've been reading good reviews on the new Sony PXW-FS7 Digital Cinema camera which is due out at the end of the year.   I love the filmic look of the camera, which has a full 35mm sensor and shoots 4K.   I don't need 4K...and none of my broadcasters will accept 4K.   But I would think a 4K camera with a 35mm sensor should look really great in 1080p mode, especially if I record DNxHD 220x from the SDI out.  

Is this a valid assumption?
