It's better than 6 in some respects.

I advise building some kind of CQ robot.

I think 10 m. is overrated.    But what do I know.  If you like:

Getting all set up only to find the band isn't "open."

Calling CQ until blue in the face (because you don't have a CQ machine)

Letting band openings rule your operating schedule

Waiting around for the band to open

Having a QSO suddenly vaporize into nothing because the band quit being open

Then 10 meters is perfect for you.

I don't like any of those things so I stick with 75 and 160

There are indeed about 3 years out of every 11 year cycle when 10 is
interesting.  The rest of the time (about 80% of the time) see above.
Maybe if you have $50K invested in elaborate stacked yagis it's
different.
