I think that the Erika is enough. It gets the job done and the difference from little hornet is not worth the chargen resources. There is the smoke and mirrors that helps with sleaze and while cybercombat is a bit meh but as the decker progresses you can upgrade. I'd rather have a limit of 5-6 and so many dice that I reliably reach it, than have a limit of 8 and 12 dice... just saying.
Erika absolutely works, especially with Mods, Programs and Qualities. IMO, for a Resources A Decker the price difference between the Erika and the Little Hornet was worth it. For Deckers on a tighter budget, the Erika gets you by, but it's a little more micro managing of your Programs, and some of the Qualities (Overclocker, Perfect Time, Data Anomaly, ect) become more important to help juggle.
