	One consideration not mentioned, you're cutting a deep hive body to medium size and saving ~$15 per box.  It will still cost $20 per hive body/box to replace 10 deep frames (with built comb) with new medium frames/foundation.  If you switch from 10-frame to 8-frame, you save 20% of the weight and avoid the added medium frame cost.   Good luck.
