Time to trim a few fan leaves?

My 2 plants are turning into nice big bushes, but the leaves are starting to get very crowded. Some of the fan leaves are blocking a few lower bud sites or just tangling up with other leaves. They were both topped probably too early, but it ended up working out pretty well I think. The one on the right was FIMed, which just seemed to slow the upward growth instead of making new tops, so I had to top that one again when it was a little bigger. It is also growing tighter/more compact making the leaves more crowded than the one on the left. The one on the left is almost symmetric and more widespread. I'm a bit hesitant to cut anything since they are growing so well and fast now. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!
