Idk if there's a significant difference between the +10 searchlight and the Type-96 150cm, but you can feel the difference between a +0 and a +10 searchlight in shutting down enemy cut-ins. I owe an easy 5-3 clear to a +10 searchlight. :P

The problem with the Type-96 is you have to equip it to a BB. Because in a combined fleet, BB's are usually placed in the middle, making it more likely for the BB to become incapacitated without managing to attack at night.
