Actually, in my experience as a "lawn maintainance professional,"
I found that Lawn-Boys were by far the best push-mowers (i.e.
non-self-propelled) available.  I'm not sure, but they probably
go for around $200-$300 these days.  The only drawback is that
they have 2-cycle engines, so you have to mix oil in with the
gas.  The 2-cycle engine itself, on the other hand, is far superior
to the 4-cycle engine in terms of power and durability.  The 
maintainace required on ours was minimal.  We're talking about
30 hours per week running time for months without any problems.
If I had to buy a mower, I'd probably go for one of these.
