Even with a 6/6/6 stack on 10 and a RX with MDS of 135 dB (I think it is) you will benefit with a low NF preamp. However, antenna gain is NOT everything on 10m, we are getting close to VHF and I rather would be interested in antenna noise temperature but maybe you just will tell us that your antennas are optimized for just that.
