Another Step II question

[Idiopathic]

I took both USMLE and COMLEX and did very well on both. Should I take both Step II's? If I am aiming at a top-tier specialty/program, would it be advantageous? Or will my good Step I score be enough (as far as the USMLE goes). Anyone else go through this?

I took both. My motivation was that all my residency prospects were allopathic and I wanted to be as competitive as possible. I'm actually glad that I did, because my Step II USMLE score went up almost 20 points, making my application look even better. And, next to the COMLEX, USMLE was easy.
