So in my opinion this is the same for both master or non master volume amps. However I do find the clean tones, or tones you get before you get to the "verge of breakup" point that most people consider the sweet spot, to be livelier and more dynamic on amps that either don't have a master volume, or have one, but is is set high enough.
By 2.5/10 I assume you mean 2.5 on the preamp and 10 on master? If so why don't you raise the pre a bit more and lower the master a bit more (without going too low).
They're great amps, not as much gain as I thought it would have I agree. But for me that's a good thing.
Regarding the 4010 the master volume always limits the signal that hits your power stage and phase inverter, so I would probably try to set it right after whichever value you feel makes the amp bland sounding. And then adjust the pre amp gain to taste.
At that point the amp might still be too loud, so you can probably get around that with pedals, attenuators or controlling you guitar volume (but still maybe not the gain you want). Just like a regular non master volume amp would.

There are no rules really, try it and see what sounds best.
