Sharpen / Balance Mower Blades ?

Anyone who sharpens their own mower blades take the time to check the balance in some way after the sharpening is done? I mow two acres, push mower and 48'' ZTR. Usually get two maybe three mow sessions before I change blades, have three sets for the ZTR and two for the push.

I remove bare minimum material using a 4 1/2'' grinder, just enough to clean up the edges. After the sharpening I don't check the balance and never have noticed any true excessive vibration of any sort. I do clean, scrape or wire brush excess grass and crud build up from the blades and let it go at that.

Just curious if any one actually balances their blades after sharpening. ????
