Additional differences
Two additional differences that favor the newer V8 over the older V10 are:
Total chassis weight appears to be in range of 60 to 70 pounds less for cutaway, and closer to 90 pounds or so for stripped chassis. I have no idea why there is a weight savings difference between cutaway and stripped chassis, but it's minor anyway.
More importantly, the Ford build and price page list the optional V8 as $350 lower in cost than the V10. That makes sense in that it must be cheaper to make.
A downside to V8 is that maximum tow ratings (based on Gross Combined Weight Rating) are lower than that of V10. For me it's still high enough that it wouldn't matter. Whether the V8 makes it into MH market remains a good question. I expect it will if emissions regulations don't get too crazy.
