Just to give you one extreme example. Take a level 4 golem which is the max you can have at townhall 9. It has 6,000 hitpoints. A canon and a tower at th9 do 75 damage per second each for a combined total of 150 per second. That means if nothing else was involved, it would take those two defenses 40 seconds to kill the th9 golem. By the same token a maxed level 5 golem has 6300 hit points. A canon and tower maxed at th10 do 98 damage each for a combined total of 196 per second. This means they take down a th10 golem in a little over 32 seconds. So defenses become stronger relative to offense at th10, before you even add in infernos. So most townhall 10s who are being honest would tell you that attacking at th9 is way easier than at th10 and that heroes are the predominate factor to th10 success. With the new walls and the huge increase in defensive ability at th10, i would suggest maxing your heroes to be better prepared for th10.
If you don't participate in clan wars then this whole conversation is irrelevant and go for th10.
