Hi Kenny,

The 17" Scott Bonnar comes with a 6 blade cylinder reel as standard. Only the 20" Scotty has an 8 blade cylinder reel as standard. wink
The 10 blade reel is an after-market accessory.
The 6 blade reel can cut the grass short and is recommended for certain types of grass, and is the reel of choice on my own Scotty 45. wink

My advice, don't commit to the new reel until we have assessed yours. wink
