Mick, this question pops up all to often.  Now-a-days, the use of
computer modelling takes all of the guess-work and querries like this
off the table.  Buy EZNEC, or another modelling program and run your own
"what-ifs?".  If you don't like the answer, run it again at another set
of heights.  Be sure to model any other (non-10M) antennas on the tower
as well (simultaneously, I mean). That's the best way to answer the
question, rather than obtain opinions from others who may not have the
detail about your installation.  You will also learn a great deal about
your antenna system by doing it yourself.
