best type of mower

[tntstinomite]

What is the best type of mower to get when starting? I have a 22 inch mower, but I feel if I had something bigger it would help. It's my first time buying and could use some advice on brand, size, new or used, and etc. I only have $1,500 to put into it.

$1500 won't buy you much but maybe a very nice self propelled commercial mower like a Honda or Exmark HERE (http://www.exmark.com/metro26.htm)
