I think a "light" 10 is a nice addition to anyone's collection. I shoot a lot of black powder and lighter 10 gauge loads for sporting clays. You essentially have a 10 gauge on a 12 gauge frame. You have the advantage of a better pattern and not much recoil using those target loads. I have also done some hunting with black powder shells with a #2 frame 10 gauge and like that too.
I have a #2 frame 10 gauge lifter that I found some #2 frame 12 gauge barrels for and put together a nice two barrel combination.
I should add in Parkers a #2 frame 10 is usually in the 8-9 pound range. My lifter is 8 1/2 lbs(with 30" barrels) and my top action is just under 9 pounds(32" barrels).
