Wise decision! But why can't you land the other way? Most types specify a 10 kt tailwind limit, period. On a long runway maybe it wouldn't be a problem, but operating so clearly and unambiguously outside the Flying Manual restrictions, anything goes wrong, blown brakes/tyres/pod scrape whatever, you will be hung, drawn and quartered. Just not worth the risk.
