Whether you should switch really depends on your abilities. Another thing you might want to consider is that tenors are quite heavier than snares. Personally, I believe that tenors are more challenging than snare.

All I can say is practice your butt off. I played tenors for a while, and it was more challenging than I thought it was. Good luck with it!

I actually voted on this a while back and didn't post.
Yeah, so I'm a third year tenor, and I have never looked back. I mean, snare is great and all, but I don't think it stands on the same level as tenor. But I can't really compare the two without being unfair.
Snare gets the spotlight, the leadership role, the glory. They also have the more rhythmically challenging parts.
But I still think tenors is a good choice. The four ( or six) drums just make the instrument even more musical. The parts are always fun, especially in the stands. Plus, the player just cool insanely cool while playing it.
Bad thing is, they are WAY heavier than snares. And if you have poor technique, it's going to sound horrible.
But practice, and you so be good.
So.... I guess in a nutshell, I say go Tenors

Smexy drummr said it ^^
Id agree with him, if you cant carry them without pain, then snare, and if technique is unsure, quads r a bad choice. Good luck ^^, try em out, they really are a blast if u get the hang XD

I say you should go with quads, like you have...because they have an easier hand configuration, rythms, and speed, other than a snare, where you are totally dependent on fast paced rythms, since you are playing on one drum....of course, the marching might be a little bit challenging, other than that, the weight distribution is better, and overall capacity is as well...
P.S. I am a Tenor player as well
