Again late to the party.
We were told at the last UL test for our ladders they would test and rate our little giant it is the only type of folding ladder we have.
I would also say go with Duo Safety Ladders as they are lighter which helps minimum manpower.
Honestly it comes down too how much you would need that extra 5 feet. There was a similar conversation on facebook not long ago. A lot of guys said they'd only seen them used once or twice. I don't know much about your department. We have a 3 fly alco heavy 35' on our engine which is a struggle to get in place even with 2 guys. It's a bitch to throw, its a bitch to carry, and it's a bitch to get on and off the rig.

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.
