I would think if your going with the Flex 18 that it would follow the contour better. The Jacs I've used in the past have all been fixed head, and very little experience with their floating model. We did make a change from the flex 21 to the Deere 220e with great results. The Deere has a complete 360 degree pivoting head, so with a 22" reel it follows the contours very well. Depending on what unit you go with it will take some comparing and adjustments to figure out the HOC match.
