Under $600 if I remember correctly. It is a Toro Greensmaster 1000:

I knew nothing about these mowers but found that my lawn would need it to really thrive. It's an older one but considering a new one is $9000+ and is industrial quality so as long as it's maintained you should be ok.
This model will only cut up to 1" in height though so be prepared to be out there every week with Bermuda grass. Zoysia grows a little slower so you might get more time between mows. I've been happy with it and my lawn does show improvement over using my previous Honda rotary mower (that was a great mower itself but not really intended for these types of grasses).
There are a couple of other forums I can point you to if you're interested in this topic that got me up to speed on what it takes to maintain these southern grasses.
