Frequent reader, new poster.  After reading through this thread and a few other reviews I've seen online, I pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered an R322T (w/48" side discharge) and the flail deck.  I was at $6500 + tax for both.  Will take about a week to arrive.  Couldn't find any dealer in the area that had sold/serviced anything in the mower series (120 to 322) so I delayed the decision for a couple of months.  There isn't much else out there that would meet my needs.  I have a small orchard, mow tall grass around some farm buildings, and have some steep ditches.  This seems like the perfect package.
