Transfered cups into a cell builder this morning, how they work their magic. Also put rhombus clearer boards on 3 hives, lifting full supers is no joke.
 
Granny Weatherwax is the best, although Nanny Ogg probably had more fun.
 
I'd leave them on but do give them more space if both are as full as you suggest.

And I would get a refractometer if I were you. It gives you great confidence that your honey will store properly if you can be sure the water content is well under 20%.

But be sure to calibrate it with an oil –-you can use mineral or virgin olive oil though I can't remember the amount it is on here somewhere. It is easy, taking only seconds and well worth the small expense.
