I’ve been using 10 lb braid to a 10 lb leader for my finesse/tube setup. Could I benefit from switching to 8 or is 10 invisible enough?

I use 10 lb Suffix 832 high viz green to an 8-10 ft 10 lb Sunline FC Leader. 
 

Unless there is some other benefit, I know there is an inversely proportionate relationship between line diameter and sink rate. So for me, while I catch plenty of fish on Ned/tube I’m wondering if I might not do even better downsizing?

    You’re fine.  I do use 20lb braid tho.

    I've been using 15# braid to 8# Sunline Sniper leader for the last 4 years on all finesse presentations.

    Can't imagine that a 10# leader would would be much of a compromise.
