I got the 20hp Briggs Vanguard for $600 on Ebay brand new, it was my main mower all of 2012, leaves a good stripe.

All I can say is that looks great. Sure gonna put me to shame. My unit will be belt drive for both wheels and blades so jury is out about how good of a cut it will give. If it cuts real good.....then it will get a nice tear down and paint job next winter. I got a rebuilt 15hp Kohler coming.
