You can create the 10 sites in the same amount of time, find the winners and THEN "build out" the best ones from there. Your using the 10 sites to test out those market forces first. Does that make sense?

I'm not suggesting you spend hundreds of hours on a test site.
I'm saying don't waste even one hour putting up a two page site in a 200 page market. If your test site isn't really a valid test, then any amount of time you spend on it is wasted time.
Part of market research is considering the competition. If I find keywords of opportunity but then see that the top raking sites are all 200 pages (and I can see why) then I'm either going to step up to the plate and compete at their level or I'm going to move on. I'm certainly not going to waste time on a 2 page site that automatically has no chance of competing in that market.
Sometimes less is better and sometimes less is just a half-assed waste of time.
