Another vote for a Scag Tiger Cat. I would tell you all the reasons why, but Tony pretty well nailed it. I got the Tiger Cat 2 with the carbed Kawasaki and a 52" deck. I hate time on a stick, and the narrower 52" deck let me get into tighter areas, and stay away from the trimmers. I think it's rated for 20 acres a day?
There are several reasons why I personally went with a Scag, but a local outdoor power shop who have always taken great care of my old equipment was as big a reason as any. When in Dallas, I also paid attention to what the commercial lawn services are buying. Most use Scags now.
We had an eXmark for years, maybe 12, and I babied it for the last 3 or 4 years, and only replaced it when it finally dropped a cylinder.
dg84s, our Scag came with the velocity deck, so I just had to remove the side discharge, and install the mulching plate. It seems to be less dusty now.
