Would you get a 16" or 18/19" Petrol Lawnmower for this garden?

After deciding I want a Honda or Hayter Petrol Lawnmower I am now undecided which size to buy so I am hoping people out there can help.
Looking at the size of our garden and the flatness of it would you say I need a 16" or 18/19" Lawnmower and I shouldn't need a self-propelled one should I?
I like to think I am quite fit so don't see the need to buy a self propelled version.
What do you think?

16 or 18"

    Yeah the smaller one will be fine , I am guessing you will never have to lift it so it doesn't matter that much and go for a push much easier to control.
    I have two Honda HRX 426 (sadly they only do the self prop ones now)
    and with the blade brake they are a dream and cut well, If you want stripes then get one with a rear roller on. And if you have the cash take a look at Etesia Pro range , Hoping to upgrade to Etesia later in the year for my Gardening business and they also use Honda engines on some of the models . good luck
