As my seasoned girls are going through and coming out of molt, I am reaping the benefit from it. As aggrevating as it is with egg numbers all over the place when you become used to solid output the dividends are awesome. The girls who have exited molt are now laying solid x-large eggs,

though yet to see where my daily count will be. Might start grading the eggs and charge more and leave it to my new girls to lay the medium/large ones. Has anyone gone through this change of laying?

Yes, most of my breeds laid much larger eggs after their first molt. The most noticeable was my BR. And they are still laying great at 2 1/2 years old.
