John T; Back when I in HVAC schooling the one thing the instructor's drilled in to us on heat pump's was to set it and forget it. That's the only way they save you money.
With 2 pump's like you have one will alway's be dominant. When you turn off the upstair's the downstairs unit will work a little harder due to the hot blanket on top so it's using more power. Not as much as both but still more. When you fire up the upstairs unit the compressor will be screaming for mercy & pulling maximum amp's untill the load is reduced to normal. The lower unit is still working overtime as well untill the set temp is reached. You might save a nickel a day on power but it's gonna cost you a lot more in reduced equipment life. Remember, design temp on a heat pump is 90 degrees. Anything over that and you're loosing ground.
We're supposed to have this heat a while longer so why don't you experiment? Read the meter & do it your way 2 day's. Read the meter again and try the first wife's suggestion & see what the difference is on the meter. That ought to give you a better idea.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
