prefer something NOT from a box store
Those two can be purchased at the dealers.
The Ariens Apex is very similar to the Gravely ZT HD. They are top end residential mowers. These are both handled by Gravely.
The Big Box stores carry the Ariens Ikon, Toro Timecutter, Hustler Dash, Hustler Raptor, some John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna and Craftsman.
Hustler Raptor XDX is their top end residential.

For 1.5 acres you don't need a big mower
I would pop for the EZ335 or 355 Deere.
One of the few mowers that was actually designed from the ground up rather than tossed together from what ever sub assemblies that can be bought cheap
You notice it when you service them , every thing can be accessed reasonably . all nuts are captive all bolts are the same size & the height adjuster is a wheel brace type spanner to fit them all
If possible fitted with a Kohler it will make servicing it a doddle ( again 2 spanners to strip the entire engine )

When you say upper end residential, I assume that you want serviceable transmissions.
