I was under the impression that the clone survived in the second scenario - that that was the difference between the two scenarios. This might explain some confusion about my answers, if this was a confusion.

No, the scenarios I originally proposed were:

  1. A clone is made.

2a. If you choose, you're tortured for an hour.

2b. Or if you so choose, the clone is tortured for ten hours.

3, Ten hours from now, the clone is destroyed in any case.
