Can anyone recommend an aluminum stepstool with a greater horizontal

We have a two step step stool by Cosco.
It's an older model 11-159-SPGY (cannot find it on the web)

It is similar to
Cosco Two Step Household Folding Step Stool
Product Model: #11135CLGG4

It's steel by not overly heavy, I can easily handle it with one hand.
I'm guessing close to 10 lbs...definitely not 15 lbs.

The bottom step is pretty deep as is the top step.... these are not
typical ladder treads.
The bottom step to top step face offset is at least 5" but definitely
not 5.5".

I'm not sure if the newer models give the large step offset.

Cosco also makes aluminum ones but they tend to be more like step
ladders with a landing platform.
The lower treads are "step ladder" sized and give very little offset
by nature of the ladder design.
