Trying to decide between X354 & X384

I have a 21 year old X320 I am retiring and am considering between the X354 & X384. I immediately gravitated to the X384 as it has a 48 inch deck like my 320, but now rethinking it a bit. I have a little over an acre, mostly flat, about a dozen trees to navigate. The house I owned when I bought the 320 was much hillier & almost 2+ acres. Maybe the 48 inch deck is a bit of overkill? The 354 is a little smaller & might navigate the trees and tighter spots a bit better. No plans to use it for snow plowing, just some light hauling to the burn pit and the like. And I have anecdotally seen that the two blade 42 inch deck might cut more evenly, but perhaps I have just read too much lately. The three blades on my 320 have been great.

My understanding is that the 380 line is the closest to the old 320's. And the final piece of the puzzle is that my local dealer has a 354 in stock but they are telling me it will be until October until they can get a 384. I can easily limp along with my old 320 this season after the current steering issue is repaired.

The Medieval Times Home Run Helmet

Just wanted to pass this along as a public service announcement. I recently inquired with the company about purchasing one of their helmets, which was described to me as "Helmet with Crown" or "Richard the Lionheart Helmet", which comes with a stand. You need to contact a location and the company put me in touch with the closest one to where I live, which is in New Jersey. The cost is $296 per helmet plus shipping. It was a little expensive for me to give a gag gift to some friends, but thought some folks here might be interested. The company was pleasant to deal with.
