Default Nitro fuel needed for..........

Hi Gang,
Right now I only fly a trainer and 2 others that are what I would call a step up from a trainer.
I run an OS 40 and 46.
I can get non Nitro fuel for $8.00 a gallon.
Just a 2 hour ride from here.
Do these engine really put out that much more power if I go with 10% nitro mix?
I was told that the non Nitro or just a 5% Nitro mix will have better lub qualities and the engine will run cooler
I was thinking that a prop with a bigger bite would get me more power (SPEED) and I still have a cooler running engine.
Suggestions greatly appreciated
