I recently purchased a Tecsun -PL380 but overlooked the detail that it
doesn't cover 1710-2300 at all so it will also soon be sold.

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to do that -- most noise sources that we hear on 160M will also be heard both above and below 160M -- they're either clocks for microprocessors, switching power supplies, or impulse noise from the power system.

So now I'm looking at the TH-F6a which has a ferrite bar for 10Mhz and
down.

The TH-F6A does, indeed, have the directivity you would expect from a loopstick, but its sensitivity is quite poor. I use it when I get very close to sources in that frequency range -- it's great for identifying WHICH box or cables are radiating the trash. The Tecsun has FAR better sensitivity.
