Default Mulching blades

OK, the grass is getting out of control! We have been blessed with abundant rainfall this year. The grass clippings are more than my Cadets can grind up. Are any of you guys running mulching blades on older Cadets and seeing a noticeable benefit compared to standard blades? If so, what are you using?
The decks I am having trouble with are the 60" Habans under my Supers, and the 44 under the 128 (I can't remember the model--all the blades are the same length and there are no cast iron parts on the deck).

I've tried slowing down a bit, no help. Running plenty of RPM's--those Habans are blowing the clippings 8' or more.

FWIW, I'm not interested in baggers, lawn sweepers, mowing every other day, spraying the yard with glyphosphate and then pouring green concrete, or saying the heck with it and letting it grow for hay.
