I think that was a good idea. Distance of 10-feet isn't very much, and if it makes it easier and safer to troubleshoot and service, it is worth the small penalty (fraction of a dB).
My pre-amp is located at the bottom of the pine tree that my antennas are in. Makes it way easier to service and worth the hit.
