I have had one for years and it's very nice to have both step and straight ladder in one unit, if you use it only occasionally.
But it's much heavier than an equilvalent height step ladder, so if you use a 6 foot step latter a lot and the straight ladder only occasionally, you might want to consider the extra weight against the cost of having both.
At least mine is a lot heavier, but it's over 10 years old. They've changed the design on most, an improvment I think in safety with the locking pins through the parts rather than the ratcheting hinges on the one I have. But all I've ever used are much heavier than a standard 6 foot step ladder.

I like the idea of having a step ladder with rails on each side.
But I don't know how easy it is to make them into the different configurarations, or whether or not the whole she-bang is too heavy for me to carry. It would be used for outside work.
I wish I had brought my 10 ft. wooden stepladder with me when I moved. It was heavy, but made one feel quite secure.
Also, do those poles that have a suction cup on the end to grasp light bulbs work? I have a couple of high outdoor lights.
Thanks,
