It appears to be an attempt to further standardize the standard, allowing for multiple floors to be added every ten bricks of height. Given that intent, it does make a certain amount of sense to make the first floor height be 10 high rather than 8. Other than making it easier to remember, I can’t think of any stated pros, but if it does allow a monorail to be built underneath, that would certainly qualify.

The cons that I see are that it would mean every existing Moonbase module would have to be modified to comply with the new standard, some people might not have the required parts to perform the necessary modifications, and it could lead to two divergent standards of 8’s vs 10’s (i.e. the people with large complex 8’s modules wouldn’t want to go through the chore of modifying them to match the new standard, or with people working from the 8’s version unaware of any change to a 10’s version) and different Moonbase coordinators would have to specify which version was the primary version (or at least confirm which version everyone had before planning a layout). Really large/tall structures could potentially be destroyed during an attempt to raise them two bricks, which would have to be considered.
