a 38 or 42 inch might be good enough for under a half acre, too especially if your shed door is only so wide.
one advantage to less horsepower (and you'll likely get by on a mostly flat lawn and not hauling trailer loads uphill) is if you hit something while mowing, especially something solid enough to stop you dead, you're more likely to stall a smaller motor out sooner and do less damage to the deck.
