its not crismas yet

I will admit I come down firmly on a larger starting stack.
Whilst the structure is important, the starting stack is also important as it gives people a lot more play and more chances if things dont go well early on ~ something players travelling for the weekend to play should get imo.
The time that is needed for this extra increase is only on average about 1 hour extra (the blinds go up >50% every two levels). If time really is the only concern, and as I said this is such a minor increase, consider reducing the blinds to 30min when down to last 5 or 4 players ~ I know a couple of tours do this.
I do think leaving the starting stack at 10k is falling behind the opposition, it definitely is a negative when comparing against all the other tourneys that now have 15k, 20k or 25k to start.

So what you"re suggesting is to make APAT tournaments a worse structure just so that they can start with more chips?
Saying you want to start with 15k, 20k, 25k, 100k or 1k is completely irrelevant - it"s the structure that decides how good or not the tournament is. People might like the feeling of having more chips to play with but it"s got nothing to do with how good or bad the tournament is.

think it would be nice to have >100BBs for an extra level

Hey, it is a fine holding, especially when holding two flush draws.
