Bouncing Melodyne (Again)

I have seen threads about bouncing Melodyne tracks, but could not find the right one with search.  I want to bounce a vocal track with Melodyne edits to a new track so I can create a final wav file for a CD.  I want to preserve the original source and Melodyne edits in case I want to go back and edit later; however, since I have sometimes lost Melodyne transfer files, I don't feel safe unless I bounce to a simple audio track.  So, here are my questions:

1. Assuming I keep the Bounce options simple and do not use Fast Bounce, can I trust that the bounced track will be equal in quality to what I hear when I play the source with Melodyne as an FX?
2. Is it possible to create a final mix to stereo wave with Melodyne as an FX, or do I have to bounce?  The answer may or may not be the same for other FX like Guitar Rig: Melodyne is somewhat unique (e.g., not allowing Bounce to Clip).
3. Any suggestions about controlling the level of the bounced track?  If it is just a matter of setting the fader (and track gain), no problem; but I recall some conversation about this and I did have a freaky incident once where the level on the bounced track went through the roof.  I never discovered the cause.

As always, many thanks for the help.

1. yes... quality should be the same. I simply select bounce.... what you hear and hit go.
2. yes... I have melodyne in the FX bins if the tracks and simply bounce it to a new track. That can be done in a single track bounce or in a final export with melodyne in the project on a track as an FX. 
3. yes... I have used a few tricks in the past. Once, I had a perfectly fine non-clipped wave that clipped in a few spots after the melodyne bounce. I deleted the bounce and then selected the entire track and applied a -3db gain reduction to it. After the second bounce, there were no clipped parts. 

In the software forum there is a thread about a upgraded version of Melodyne. It also has a link to a review/publicity blurb and that references Sonar explicitly. You might want to check it out.
