[SML] Little Giants - models and leg levelers

[Alex French]

I've just become a home-owner, and this is the first time I've purchased
and owned a ladder.  Purchase #1 was a 6' fiberglass stepladder (there are
many like it, but this one is *mine*).

Purchase #2 will be a Little Giant articulating ladder.  I grew quite fond
of them in college thanks to Mike Katz's purchases for Kresge Little
Theatre at MIT.  A quick survey looks like the Little Giant still leads the
knockoffs, and the price premiums aren't huge for what I want.

I'm 80% sure I want a Model 22- a Model 17 wouldn't quite reach a lot of
spots I might want to get to, and a Model 26 still wouldn't reach the
highest outdoor spots, so a Model 22 is the right compromise of weight &
cost vs usefulness.

But I'm left with two questions, that hopefully someone will know off the
top of their head:

1) What is the difference between the "Velocity" line and the "LT" line?

2) Is there a leg-leveling option available for either the Velocity or LT
line? Or do I have to step up to the "Quantum" or "Revolution" to get leg
leveling, and is the only option the built-in one?  (which means a little
extra weight that can't be removed when not needed)

Okay three questions...

3) Is there anything else about other models that I might really
appreciate?  At a glance it seems like any of the models (along with a
"wingspan") will give me everything I know and love from the original model.

Thanks to anyone who happens to know enough to help!
