As someone who lives in a country where every other amateur photographer (and professional landscapers) owns a 10-stop or a 6-stop, and as someone who used to own the Lee Big Stopper (10stops) and now has the Little Stopper (6stops), I'd like to echo what GroovyGeek says. The only justification for the 10-stop is if you want to blur out clouds in the middle of a sunny day, otherwise it's overkill and in my opinion, if you're shooting during the golden hour, the 10-stop introduces too much vignetting and heats the sensor too much during such long exposures, you get a lot of "dead pixels". The 6-stop is much more practical, gets you the same effect in most scenarios but with lesser time and, you can actually focus through it with Live View, which you can seldom do with the 10-stop. So personally I'd recommend the 6-stop, it gets used much more often of the two by those who own both, at least judging by the crowd that I hang with here in Iceland.
