I would probably have floors in both models. As I'm sure you know, if you don't have it in your model, you can't do anything to it. So if you need to cut floor openings and things like that, you would have to wait for the RST file to get them. You wouldn't be able to place floor hosted content...things like that. With that said, you may want to hide your floors when it comes time for detailing as the RST package will show a filled region for structural decking, (provided they use it) and may have more accurate layering / thickness...save time on your end. In RST, their floor have more information than what you may need in RAC. There are specific properties in there ment for an analysis package to read...aside from the analytical model. I would probably just copy monitor them so you can track changes in shape, thickness, opening, etc. HTH
