Default Better reel mower, or switch to rotary?

Incidentally you need a lawn sweeper too, to pick up the neat windrow
you leave. I cut two swaths, one northwards leaving windrow on the
west, and then back southwards overlapping the windrow on the east,
and then sweep up the windrow and form a now-huge pile of compost
in the back woods. If you don't have a place for grass clippings,
this will be a problem.

For a scythe, historically, the windrow is the point. You eat it.
