As the subject states, here are 2 that I saw at the local home

Louisville AA229GS 350lb rating $159 at Home Depot.

The only difference I can tell is the Louisville has higher weight
rating and has foam boards on the panel for better insulation. So why
Lowes is selling the Werner for almost $40 more, I don't know.

The Lowes has a slightly wider base at 16" vs 14.75. That may make it
easier to climb. Only one gives the assembled weight so you can't compare
mateiral content easily. I think you'd really have to look at them in
person to see if anything makes a difference.
