Wink, I just bought a Walker Mt-54 SD and I think it stripes very well. My customers really like the way their lawn looks when I'm finished. Before I got my Walker I used a 21" Toro Commerical WB and it striped very well also. My advice to you is to go and try out all of them. I asked about every mower made I believe and took some ribbing from some people at this site, but I'm glad I asked the questions. I feel I made the right choice, someone else may make a different choice. Don't be afraid to buy a side discharge deck either. Once you get the hang of cutting with it, it looks like you baged or mulched. Good Luck with your choice. Happy Cutting.
