I don’t feel that it is correct that if you have much more credit you have a reduce score. I have lots of cards (at least 8 or so) and I have a genuinely higher credit score. As extended as you shell out back what you owe on time, your score will be excellent. So, I would not be concerned about it.

This is a tricky question given the information because different financial institutions score different characteristics on credit bureau reports (CBR’s) differently. For instance, a mortgage company would probably weight prior mortgage history more strongly than anything else in the score, auto-finance company weight auto payment history the strongest, etc.
Generally speaking, revolving credit lines and how they are paid are arguably the best indicator of how someone will pay any other type of credit line/loan. If these are the only 2 items reporting on your CBR’s currently, it would be a better idea to use one or both cards moderately and pay the balances off monthly (or keep low balances and don’t ever let them approach the high credit limits) to show responsibility in paying your credit lines. This will also help your 2 creditors raise your credit lines.
How does raising your credit limits help? One of the stock, built-in formulas affecting basic credit scores (provided by the credit reporting agencies, themselves) is the ratio of outstanding credit balances (all added together) versus the sum of high credit limits. If this ratio gets out of hand (i.e. all credit cards are approaching being maxed out or are over their limits) your score will definitely suffer severely.
Other factors are any collection accounts, bankruptcy(ies), repossession(s), or anything else derogatory (payments late in excess of 30 days+). I hope this helps.
P.S. If you are rich, I wouldn’t really worry about it!
