IF you have good results at .2/.5 then I would play .5/.10 because you have 45 buyins worth at that level. Here's a better way to look at it though:

If you are playing SNG and Cash Tables I would set aside "X" amount of dollars for each one. For example I would split the $450 into 2 and you would have $225 for cash tables and $225 for SNG. But by doing it this way you would only have 22.5 buyins for cash tables at NL10 and 45 Buyins for SNG. Then you could adjust accordingly when your bankroll goes up.

Do you multi-table? Are you making a profit at the level you are at? If the answers are no/yes, then you could try increasing the number of tables at the current stakes you are playing. Either way you go, moving up in stakes or multi-tabling, Keep an eye on that Bankroll. If it starts heading down, then you need to consider cutting back tables or moving back down in stakes.
