(Capablanca has 3 Queen-class pieces on 10x8, and that is an OK variant...) Although having a piece capable of solo checkmating might not be good for a variant. (OTOH, Knightmate has that too, and does not really suffer from it.) K+N should be 7.5-8, almost balancing a Rook + Knight in an end-game with otherwise only King and Pawns. At least it is on 8x8. On 10x10 it might lose some value, but so would the Knight, so it might still be a fair match for a Rook and a Knight.
