In theory it will be the same when I go to town hall 6 and they can still only take 5% from me, but the town hall still giving only 50 of each the storage will be able to give twice as much up to the max 200,000 since i will be able to hold more when they are upgraded. So instead of 20k max a th10 can take from me it will be 40k, because I just have more.
This is the same you would get from me with your th9. But you can get ALL from th9 and 10.
Right now at th9, you can only take 90% or some from a th8. Moving to th10, mean you will only get 90% of the loot you could have got from a th9 because it is one town hall level lower than you. You will see a LOT less loot after you move up in town halls. So you have a bit more loot you can get from lower players right now, so why not use it to your advantage and stay at th9 for as long as you need to?
If you move up to town hall 10 before you finish th9, then you will have less loot you can gain from ALL players and have al the extra cost of those upgrades, walls you left behidn at th9 in addition to the extra millions of thing to upgrade at th10 like inferno towers that aren't cheap from the looks of it, $1mil walls, and everything else.
This goes for all town hall levels, and is the reason that you really sure upgrade town hall after everything else, unless you are just in the butter-zone of good loot.
Here is my math figure on which levels each town hall shouldn't bother attacking unless they can just farm them otherwise the troop cost for anything other than barch will mean you spend more than you gain. It is just MY math, not confirmed in the game but based solely on my observations during this month I have been playing the game:
10 shouldn't bother with 7 and under
9 shouldn't bother with 6 and under
8 shouldn't bother with 5 and under
7 shouldn't bother with 4 and under
under town hall 7, attack anyone since you probably won't want to wast your time at town hall 6 finding town hall 3 to attack and they either still have a shield since they just began, or have quit and someone else has already attacked them and probably given them a shield anyway, so if you find them it is real cheap but not really going to gain you anything from attacking them except achievements for mortars, wins, town halls, walls, builders huts, etc.
I am hoping this math holds true, though i do get attacked by th10 all the time because the bonus loot is too good for them to pass up in addition to my measly 20k resources, but I knew that was a risk when I went to champs and was willing to take it all for the sake of getting my 5th builder.
I would say anyone at th5 and up should max everything BEFORE upgrading town hall, because after that is where the real fight begins if unless you go sub200 where it seems to be all weirdness and craziness, or like me, climb so high just to use the loot penalty and protection form not having anyone that can take everything from you.
EDIT: I actually think the town hall should never have a penalty, and understand why the storages exist and the town hall has storage ability, but it might need to be increased and the penalty factor removed from town halls so ANYONE can take EVERYTHING from a town hall because it is a building worth a star itself. Each level the town hall can store more, and there is no penalty for attacking it, so you risk losing more. What purpose does having that 1,000 always follow you wherever you go after you have storage as it is? Just to give people some loot formt he town hall, but it isn't worth its real value as it is. it would also make taking the town hall for that 50% that more interesting to get more than just 1000 loot from it. But this is another topic in itself only slightly related to whether you should max or premmie your town hall.
