It just flat out is a better designed blade. It can also be used for bagging, but I just care about mulching. For my walk-behind 21" cut MTD, the P/N was 98-615. There are two P/Ns for my OEM blade and I had to search around until I found a Gator blade on Amazon that said it was compatible. Though I ordered from a mower site not Amazon (ironically).

Even on my shitty yard it created nice stripes. Imagine what it could do on a nice lawn. Some leaves were blowing and falling as I was mowing but you get the idea.

A little over $30 shipped. I sharpened it on the grinding wheel before mowing just to get it even sharper, though I don't think mower blades can hold a razor edge for very long.

Either way, highly recommended.
