Mower conditioners.....again

I'm back to looking at mower conditioners again since the NH 499 I bought this past spring didn't work out as I hoped. This time I am going to buy a disc mower conditioner like I should have done last spring. The JD 946 and MF/Hesston 1383 are still my two favorites but I'm having a hard time deciding which I like better......particularly the cutter bar and conditioning rolls.

Anyone have any experience with the JD tri lobe rolls? Supposedly they are the best for drying alfalfa the quickest but I have read that they don't work well in grass and other crops. I need to get alfalfa dry as quick as possible but I also grow grass and oat hay so I need something that will work in those crops as well. What about the JD v10 steel rolls? The steel rolls in the MF/Hesston look the same as the JD v10 so I assume dry down would be about the same between those two.

Also any opinions on the JD vs Hesston cutter bar? I am pretty sure both use the same cutter bar that is in the self propelled machines. Im kind of particular so getting as clean of a cut as possible is important. I find it interesting that the Hesston uses a cutter bar that each disc turns opposite the next but the JD discs all turn to the center of the machine. What advantage does one have over the other?
