[Elecraft] Trade off PR6 vs PR6-10 pre-amp

I have the PR6 mounted on the K3.  Did successful JT65 6M moon bounce 
with 11 element antenna,1000 watts, 110 foot BuryFlex coax, and 
appropriate switching.  So this setup worked.

I note that the specification for the PR6-10 has about 2dB more gain 
than the PR6.  The MDS and dynamic range specs are the same.

Would the 6 meter performance with the K3 using the PR6-10 be better or 
worse than the PR6 because of:

1. Wider pass band?  More opportunity for out of band noise?

2. More gain?  Impact on overall dynamic range and noise figure?

My real question is should I sell my PR6 and get a PR6-10?  I do not 
want to lose anything on 6 meters but perhaps could stand some 
improvement on 10.
