I don't think you could go wrong with either the Gravely or Scag. I would stay away from HD/Lowes as their mowers are not built the same. Check around to see if any dealers have any trade ins available. You can usually find a good deal on a commercial mower that would last a long time only mowing 1 acre.
Spray the weeds out now and get a soil sample, if possible. Then fertilize after you have mowed a couple of times and the grass is fully out of dormancy. Centipede doesn't need a lot of nitrogen throughout the year.

what type of grass do you have?
Pic 1 is Bermuda or torpedo that needs to be cut. Nuke it and start over.
Pic 2 is poa annua, which will be dying out with the heat soon.
