Differing, as ten insisted otherwise (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dissentient

'differing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'ten insisted otherwise' is the wordplay.
'otherwise' indicates an anagram.
'ten'+'insisted'='teninsisted'
'teninsisted' with letters rearranged gives 'DISSENTIENT'.

'as' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
