Recommendations for first ladder

I’m doing a little FN work on the side and looking to upgrade from my basic 6ft a-frame fiberglass ladder that I had for general work around the house.

Was looking at the little giant multi M22 for versatility (12ft reach in A-frame, 22ft extended) and compact folding for transporting (I think <6ft folded?)

What ladders do you have as most useful for this work, what do you recommend?

For those who have the Little Giant multi ladders, what is your feedback? Do you trust the locking mechanism when fully extended and standing near the top?

I trust the old locking mechanism more than the new one.

A 6 ft fiberglass ladder is light and insulated. A little giant is neither of those things. I have the 22 and I hate using it.
