I would like to mention, that longer blind structures don't mean better tournament structures. 10 mins blinds are fine, but Party (and most of other sites) should remove some early blind levels and add some late blind levels to late stages of tournaments. I don't play those stupid 15 mins or 20 mins blind level tournaments: their structure is plainly horrible (maybe ok for 200$+ Sunday Major to have 15 mins levels and at very late stage 20 min).
Best tournaments I think are actually tournaments which have either 6 or 8 mins blinds, are around 8-max and have lots of levels in late stage of tournament and less in beginning. Like 15/30 -> 25/50 -> 50/100 -> 75/150 but like 1000/2000 -> 1200/2400 -> 1500/3000 and 10k /20k -> 12k / 24k -> 14k/28k -> 17k / 34k -> 20k / 40k.
