I would run just the Tarheel.

Having a remote tune-able antenna is far more versatile than the slight edge in performance with a 102 whip on 10m.

I use a 5ft. whip on my Little Tarheel HP and it will tune down to 60 meters.

When stationary, I use a telescoping 17ft whip and have a full 1/4 wave on 20m and much better performance on the lower bands down to 80m.

At 6ft or more on the Tarheel, you'll start to lose 6m and even 10m if you go too long but that's the trade off to get better performance on the lower bands.
