Stage 10A vs. 10B on the Olvidado

Quick question about the stage from Guardo - Puente Almuhey:

There is an option 10A (por San Pedro de Cansoles) with 16.7km and an option 10B with 31.7km (por Velilla del Río Carrión).
In height it is pretty clear that 10A is flat, rising slowly from 1.000m up to 1.200m, while 10B looks definitely like a heavy day walk with a hill-walk from 1.000m to 1.600m and down again to 1.200m

Is 10B worth the pain - so to speak - of a tough day trip with close to 32km and the collada in the middle?
Is 10B worth the pain if it rains or if it is misty in the morning when the decision at start has to be made?

I think that deciding on the day based on the weather is your best option.
