Is there a more elegant way to exit this repeat loop? Less than two lines?

Looking for a way to exit a long "System Events" repeat loop in case of a problem.

repeat with index from 1 to the 10
    set optionDown to testOption() -- line 1
    if optionDown then return -- line 2
    beep
    delay 1
end repeat

How about this:

repeat with index from 1 to the 10
    if testOption() then return
    beep
    delay 1
end repeat
