I have mulching/Gator blades on one of my decks (Oregon brand equivalent). They work great. Don't seem to draw any more power on the gauge. I'm sure they draw a little more though. I would recommend.

OTOH, ET blades are flat. I'd guess that the ICE blades would need significantly more power (and use more energy).IIRC, someone on this list was experiementing with ICE-type blades on the ET some years back.
