With higher defense and having 3 attacks of 3 (or some other combination of 9 attack dice...Q10 can get 4 attacks of 2 but so can Q9, plus another attack of 1, even if it does sacrifice 1 range) as opposed to Q10 getting two attacks of 4 (and this with a range of 4 as opposed to 6) I think that Q9 is still a better squad killer than Q10. Of course Q9 costs more, so if you don't have enough points to draft him, Q10 is still quite a formidable foe, even if he does tend to die a bit quickly (but in the meantime your other units aren't being attacked!)
