Again, what objective data do you have to show the 10w60 is inadequate? You are reading something written mostly by a marketing person in that link.
I'm not 100% behind what BW is claiming. Pour point is a worthless metric, and higher ZDDP content doesn't necessarily make it any better. There are more modern anti-wear additives that accomplish the same thing. Castrol uses titanium, for example.
It seems like you've made up your mind. Use the 15w50 and show us some data over a few oil change intervals so we know how it went.
