Binding Din Range Advice

Looking to purchase the Salomon / Atomic shift2 binding and torn between getting the 10 (din range 4-10) or the 13 (din range 6-13). I’m a decent skier, 6ft 2, 85kg and my DIN setting has always been 8 (although I’m 52 now and according to the calculators should probably start lowering the setting). So my question is - is it better to be at the lower end of a binding’s DIN range (get the 13) or the towards the middle / higher end (get the 10)? Also - is there any suggestion that the same binding with a higher DIN range is likely to be more robust? PS not after a discussion on the merits of the Shift2 which I know isn’t everyone’s thing, just thoughts on DIN range
