Slightly disingenuous pricing. Includes one board when three are required for each level. Boards are $85 each so price for a usable section is more than $500. Be careful with scaffolding on wheels outside. I prefer legs and lift and move when required.This looks like a decent option...

Agreed. It's a 4 week lead time for the JH siding.
Trim can come in earlier, and I can stucco and do the brick work while I wait. But won't be able to insulate the house 100% until I get a zoom boom / scaffold up.
Need to consider timing also. Will see how high I can get the bakers scaffold first.
Dug into my range hood enigma. Both the models I was looking at have the same identical parts (from the official parts sheets) aside from the actual stainless steel covers which have slightly different styling and small dimension changes. The lights and switches and info panels are identical. They are manufactured in the same Mexican (not Canadian as I first thought) plant. The instruction booklets are the same (differ in a few small things), even the “patented technology” is the same. I bought the cheaper one!
I thought it was only mattress manufacturers that played this silly game.

The illusion of choice is strong. Also that game protects retailers from having to comply with their price match policy (as you can't find the same item elsewhere).
Remember the days of Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile.... "sticker" engineering, specially in the 80s and 90s.
In the context of consumer products these days sometimes it is also about price matching/comparison, brand x is sold here, brand y is sold there so no need to match. Stores like it that way. It also makes little economic sense to engineer two unique products and make them in two different places as time goes on and new products are introduced. It is not uncommon in appliances these days.
The research you did paid off...
A friend had their scaffolding hit by a train. Some of it flew hundreds of feet. Insurance adjuster said it looked ok and they wouldn't be paying for any of it. My friend asked them to get an engineer to sign off on every piece as it was a life safety issue that the construction company would not and could not take on. Unsurprisingly insurance company couldn't find an engineer to do that and all scaffolding was replaced.
Painting and redecorating. Two bathrooms and a spare bedroom so far.

The three point rule pretty much limits what one can do. Maybe tighten a screw. Changing a fluorescent tube would be a challenge.
If I wrap my leg through the ladder does that leg count as three? I can let go with everything else and remain on the ladder (assuming the ladder doesnt fall).
I used to lean forward. If you're not too close to the top . . .
Otherwise it'd be tough to punch hanger holes, in a ceiling, in a tight space.
Yup. I wasnt usually strong enough to use a deck punch with one arm.
Changing lightbulbs in my house required my feet on the top rung of my ladder. Not a fun place to be. Bought a taller ladder. Havent needed to change bulbs since.
Putting stuff back in garage after having floor epoxy coated.Your garage is cleaner and more organized than my house.
I have shopsy dropsy. The smaller the part the more likely I am to drop it and I'm thinking of going to a white floor in the shop to aid in locating such items. Any finish that acts as camouflage is out. (It does look nice though)
I'm currently looking at a bunch of parts that used to be a 100:1 gear reduction the size of the end of my thumb.
Yeah we both have young kids fella so it’s cleaner than my house as well
