old men trapped in a box

If this is referring to "Four Knocks" from the "End of Time Pt2" with Wilfred, this was a very heartfelt moment.

His ranting about how he could be so much more, really pulled at the heart strings. He knew his end was inevitable even though he had fought it for so long. Telling Wilfred "It would be my honor", after his rant was an emotional slingshot.

I thought Tennant had a way of being very realistically emotional, a trait not usually portrayed by older generations.

Another characteristic of 10 that I love - his core need/desire to give every foe he faces a chance

In "School Reunion", he comments how he used to have so much mercy, and implies since he is older now there is not much mercy left to give.

From 10's first episode he said "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man".

While he is still willing to give mercy, at this point in the Doctor's timeline I thinkTennant does a decent job in portraying how weary he has become.
