This is not to say 11+ is not desirable, it is, but by no means essential. With either you have to hit the spot of course. That said I would want the rifle tweaked under warranty to 11 ish.
In reality though, the difference between 11 and 10 is only 30fps or so with a mid weight pellet. 11ftlbs is the upper limit with a mid weight without a heavier pellet going over.
