Both those scales use the same technology so it would be surprising if they had a large difference between them. Unfortunately they are not accurate and can be off by a large margin.
You would have to be very large boned or pretty muscular to be 6'4" and 15% at 242 lbs. It's quite possible but also possible the bio impedance scale is just wrong. Due to their margin of accuracy you could be over 20% body fat.
Getting to your question to get down to 10% is certainly possible. Sustaining it is another matter. I never got there myself but hover around 13% body fat pretty easily.
The one thing to be cautious of is muscle loss. Staying on phase 1 too long when you are getting lean can result in pretty significant loss of muscle.
I'd personally suggest you take a break (phase off) for at least a couple weeks before making any decisions.
