I would get the bagger. I'm in the market for a new mower after twenty years and I will get the bagger and mulcher kits with the new purchase. It was hard to find a bagger for my mower when I understood the benefits of bagging with it being as old as it was. If you have a lawn with a lot of weeds, bagging may help the spread of that cancer. Other, more informed people may differ their opinion. As an lawn amature, my research has found bagging to be the best solution to those who want a cut, decent looking lawn with minimal work.
