Decided I'm going to get rid of the multi deck and go back to GHS. Just wondering if anyone has used the C42R (42" GHS reverse rotation deck)? From what I understand the standard 42" GHS deck has the best vacuum of any Walker decks, but the reverse rotation option gives some next level stripes without the need for a roller etc.

Wondering how much vacuum you lose on the C42R and how much better the finish looks over the standard C42?

And a side point: has anyone used a 48" deck and wished they'd done it a lot sooner? I've only ever used 42" which is obviously better for access, but that's not an issue for me and I'm wondering if the extra 6" is worth it to cut down mowing time? Or is it a bit of a pain when you're trying to get into corners and around posts etc.?
