So, as the original poster, I thought I would bring this full circle and note where I ended up.
I did go with the Scotts 20" Classic reel mower ([ame=http://www.amazon.com/Scotts-2000-20-20-Inch-Classic-Mower/dp/B00004RA3E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369956968&sr=8-1&keywords=scotts+reel+mower]Amazon.com: Scotts 2000-20 20-Inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower: Patio, Lawn & Garden[/ame]). Reviews on Amazon were favorable for up to a 1/4 acre lot as far as effort involved, with good cutting effectiveness - especially since this mower can be adjusted up to a 3" cut. (I have read that Zoysia is quite happy at 2-1/2". and I do prefer a higher cut.)
The only downside is the 4" or so gap next to walls and other features, so I purchased a Worx cordless electric trimmer/edger at the same time, and am very pleased with that as well for my grass area (Lantana on an interior lot.)
