5NL and 10NL at Pokerstars

I'm finally rolled for 10NL at stars but I'm wondering if I should bother moving up. All 5NL tables at PS have 200bb buyin so I'm buying in for the same amount regardless but I have to deal with more regs at 10NL than 5NL. Seems kind of pointless to play 10NL when I could play against the same fish at 5NL until I'm rolled for 25NL. Or maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and I should be playing 10NL to learn how to deal with said regs. What does everyone think I should do?

I never played 5NL but 10NL did seem to be the start of when not everyone was a fish. I think it's a good place to get ready for 25NL. That being said, I can't say for certain whether 5NL is not the same.
I would recommend just playing at 10NL tables that are loose, and continue playing the 5NL you would play normally.
I've used the same idea when moving up stakes, basically just picking a few prime tables up a level.

nl10 and nl5 double buy in are different games def play nl10 before going to 25. You got to get use to playing normal buy in game; shortstackers, less deep etc..
