Should I add mulching blades to my 2326 mid-mount mower?

How much difference do the extra, smaller mulching blades make (four blades rather than two)? I mow about 3 acres and I do not collect grass as I mow.

WAIT! Looking at this, I guess you can't get mulching blades for the 60" 2326. Meaning mulching is not an option. I didn't have that for my Kubota 60" deck either, but i thought I saw where you could add three smaller mulching blades to it. Guess not.

Is the point being that since it is a side discharge, mulching does not function?

Yup, no such animal as mulching blades for that deck. Also, no aftermarket baffle to stick in there to block the chute.
