YOUR NUTS!
YES, having another machine to look after is a factor. BUT, you are not a municipality. The mahine won't see that many hours. My CUSHMAN 10 foot mower could mow 100 acres in an 8 hour shift! That's a HUGE saving in time if you value yours and have a lot of grass to cut like me.
I got rid of my 14 or 16 (don't remember) pull behind wing mower. You can't even compare the two. You need a lot of space to run that tow behind. First time I used it, I tore the baton off the garage! You can do precision work with the self propelled wing mower and they can practicaly turn in their own footprint. Great for going around trees. Not even a close possibility with a pull wing mower.
The 15.5 foot pull type Progressive mowers we had were zero turn. You could mow around a goal post.
