The one with the bar and springs? I use that myself every year. It's great. If you put your mower low you can take off more than you would ever want with it. I've never hired someone, so I can't compare it, but it works fine.
A couple tips. Buy spare springs. Sucks to break one and not have a spare.
Don't pull backwards! That's how I always break my springs. I haven't actually broken one in a few years since I learned that. Keep going forward. Never pull it towards you.
It's also a good opportunity to sharpen your blade while you have it off. A quick Dremmel works wonders.
