The three blade prop has one inch greater ground clearance.

The three blade has improved climb performance (how much?).

The three blade produces noise at cruise at 125 hertz versus 83 hertz for the two blade (most ANR headsets are more effective at 125 hertz).

The three blade is so much sexier that if you ever sell the plane it has to recover the cost.

The fifteen pound penalty won’t seem so bad if they improve the gross weight.

The three blade should be safer in the unlikely event of loss of a blade or part of a blade.

Difference in risk of blade loss is too complicated to speculate.

The three bladed prop has significantly

more ground clearance.

HOW ABOUT 1" !!! Is that significant?

If I had another 1" I would not be doing concrete!
