i had the 9 ft aipa big brother sting and the 10 ft 2 custom big brother sting. the 9 ft was perfect it was 91 liters and maneuvered very well and caught every wave and can take off steep or farther back. the 10 ft two has 23 more liters and 26 more in in lenghth. I think there was a definite tradeoff in maneuvering but the board is fast, still takes off steep too. I only weigh 150 though. I think the 9 ft was perfect but the 10 ft might be a little too much volume for me. both are awesome boards. Haven't tried the toughlite yet though.
Savin up for one looks great 🤙

I have a 9'6 and weigh about 165. I'm probably in the middle of what you're describing. Fun board to surf and catches lots of waves.
