I used to use a Ramsones tow along 7 gang cylinder mower but the price to sharpen was outrageous, I guess the machine they use to sharpen cylinders is quite a expensive piece of kit. The sales guy says a lot of folks are dumping there cylinder for rotratry unless they have a specific need, primarily due to maintenance costs.
