Hi,

Some things I just love about the Allett/RoVer Kensington 17":

1. Backlapping - simply remove the cutting reel cartridge and place on the bench
2. HOC - the height of cut adjusting screws have a click, maybe 20 per 360* so it's very easy to adjust each side equally
3. Catcher - being a heavy gauge plastic, any bump pops out and it's lighter than the heavy steel of the SB45
4. Drive belts - thought I'd prefer the SB45 chains but the RoVer belts require no lubrication
5. Twin Drive - being a twin drive system, all the controls are on the handle
6. Grass comb - if the grass comb just behind the front roller is adjusted correctly, it makes the grass standup

I think it just shows that cylinder mower over the last 40 years has evolved and the SB45 is still pretty well a 50+ year old design.
