Looks good,

They take the same amount of room -- since the lower floor area needs to be clear to accept the stairs....
I'd prefer a "closet" space / storage space under the stairs for a compressor or other "things" such as that.
My stairs in the old shop went up a couple steps - had a landing and made a turn ---- it's were I stored spare motors - 55 gallon drums of spare metal "sticks" - and I built a rack for new metal -- longest pieces to shortest following the stair slope. My compressor was also under there although at the height of the slop - these were also EXTRA SIDE stairs in case I wanted to turn the area in to storage vs a space for chairs and TV and drums etc.
Not trying to say what you should do -- just giving "food for thought" on some options.
