Reel Lawn Mower

I am considering purchasing a reel lawn mower. It is not like I am trying to improve the environment or even to save money on gas. I am after the look and benefits it would give to my grass. Reel mowers cut in a scissor-like motion, which is healthier for the grass and produces an even cut.

I saw two different reel mowers at Lowe's the other day. One is $90 and the other is $130. The more expensive one has a wider cut at 20" and comes with a bag to collect clippings. I wouldn't be using the bag much because leaving clippings on the lawn redistributes some of the nitrogen back to the grass. But you probably already knew that :)
