Here is 2-3 ft chop at speed in a 32B

This is about 19 miles in about 9.5 minutes

8/10s? Who the hell runs at speed in legitimate 8-10 foot anything? Last I checked Chuck Norris isn't boating anymore.
If the above video is using the same yardstick to measure 2-3 and 8-10; OK, maybe we have a measurement issue here. We need put these keyboards down and slap schlongs on the table to figure this out.

Furthermore, there's a huge difference in rough water between the 32A and the 32B... HUGE difference. While the OP didn't specify which model he was refering to... knowing roughly the kind of money I suspect is in the budget, I'd be willing to bet that he is not refering to a 32B with 6's.
I have seen the 32A Skaters run in the same water at the same time as the 38 TG's in conditions that were real 3' and better seas and there is no way the 32A's could hang, period. A 32B with 6's would likely be a closer match and a 36 would walk the TG all day long in the same conditions.
If you're quoting my comment above about running at 8/10's or better, that's eight tenths (0.8)... not 8'-10'.

It's a term commonly used in racing... pushing to "X"/10's of your or your equipment's ability. Pushing the boat or car at 10/10's is dancing on the ragged edge of being out of control, or in this case crashing the boat. Pushing the boat at 8/10's means you are pushing it close to the limit and probably close to crashing if conditions were to slightly change for the worse... and water being dynamic, that can happen at any time.
