Default Ferris mower owners pros and cons please

I had a 60" Gravely go down this year.I went look at some Ferris mowers but havent heard anything about them was wondering about durability , cut quality and the sorts from someone who has used them for long periods of time. Thanks for any feedback.

Aren't they a little heavier than other mowers due to their suspension?
