Mulching mowers can be a benefit. BUT, only if it's used right, and most people aren't willing to do this. You can cut a max of 1" off of the grass with a mulching mower if you want it to work properly. As you go past this, you have to first go slower, and finaly you'll have clumping and clogging.
The only solution is to mow twice a week or more depending on your lawn. This also means twice the wear and tear on your mower, so it's actually cutting the usable life of your mower in half.
Meanwhile, if you don't let the grass get out of hand, you can use a regular mower, and just don't collect the clippings. Now sometimes the grass just grows too damn fast and I'll have some clippings start to collect on the lawn, and I'll just go back with a lawn sweeper and collect it in those spots, but this doesn't happen too often, and I don't have to worry about making two or more passes to get the lawn cut. A good thing when you have 3 acres.
