This is more than twice the cost of Greenworksl? No catcher basket. I don't mind paying premium for well made product, but is this worth it?

I would pay it for this. See my review. I'm like you. I will pay more for better. I bought mine 3 years ago & haven't even needed to sharpen it. Very tough little mower.

Any of you live in the south and use this mower with St. Augustine grass?

I use it on my St. Augustine lawn here in Florida, and I’ve been extremely happy with it! It does leave the taller weeds, I will say, but I don’t mind going through and pulling those. It’s the only reel mower I could find that has options for cutting at the healthier height of 3.5-4” and my lawn has been thanking me.

What difference(s) between this newer model and the older model, also offered here on Amazon for $179?

I have had the $179 model for less than a year. The front wheels are made of hard plastic and will not last the year. I do have to go over 300 feet of concrete driveway to get to a couple of other patches of grass, but I would still expect more from the wheels. The front wheels of the newer model look more substantial, but obviously I can't swear to their durability.Besides the reversible chute mentioned by photofan, the description says the older model is 30% easier to push (which is pretty darn easy on my bermuda grass) and the newer one says 60% easier. The older model also says "50 percent more cutting power" while the newer one says 100% ("twice") the cutting power. Edit: Having now seen the newer model, the new front wheels are essentially smaller versions of the back wheels. So I assume they would last longer than the front wheels of the older model.

Can you use this kit more than once or is it a one time sharpening system (meaning I'll have to buy another one in a few years)?

When I finished using my Fiskar's sharpening the first time, there was enough sharpening compound left in the container to repeat the process many times over. And since it's something you'll only be doing once every few years, I assume the kit will last a very long time. Of course, there's no reason why the brush and the sharpening tool shouldn't give you equally long service.
