Forget trying the 10 GB option.

10 GB will work, but I would recommend using matching sets of RAM. Ordering an 8GB kit (2x4) would probably be the best option if you don't want to spend the money on 2x8GB sticks.

Will DDR3 1600 work with the Mid-2011 models? The Apple website says DDR3 1333, but will it automatically adjust or will it not work at all? I'm not sure why the price of RAM is more expensive than it was a few years ago.

yes the 1600mhz RAM will work ..but make sure that the RAM is 204 pin SO-DIMM.

Thanks, but I went the safe route and ordered the recommended Crucial RAM from Amazon Warehouse for $56.

Great decision... getting the dual 2 x 4GB (8GB) kit of Crucial RAM is an excellent choice. I ordered the 2 x 8GB (16GB) kit direct from Crucial after I bought my mid-2011 Mini and I have had no regrets since and haven't looked back.
