For working on the outside of a tall 2 story house (pier and beam, plus tall ceilings) with a fairly steep roof pitch, what do you like/recommend?

I will be doing some work on soffit, fascia, etc on both the first and second story. I want to be secure. There seem to be several 23' (26' reach) multiposition ladders out there with 300-375# rating for around $300. To get a similar size extension ladder with a similar weight rating (more than I need, but I'd rather it was plenty sturdy) you pay the same price or more. So from that point of view, it seems to be a no brainer to get the multiposition. But are there issues with those that make them undesirable that I'm not aware of?

It seems like the multiposition ladders offer more functionality for basically the same price.

24', 300#, $290


23', 300#, $300 (375# version is $325)
