It would be great to feed the Wellness or another grain free canned food every day and try to drop the dry all together. In the long run the costs even out. There is a saying here - spend money on quality food now and you won't be spending tons more money on quality vet care in the future.
Your cats are both males? Males are more prone to crystals and stones. Which means more trips to the vet to treat them, more costs for meds, and eventually more costs for a very expensive (around $1500 I've heard) operation which turns them into females basically. Or choosing to euthanize rather than treat them which is what a lot of owners do.
Dry foods are directly related to a ton of health issues. Smart vets are figuring that out. Cats, I'm sure you saw when you cruised that site, need water with their food, not beside it. Dry foods can't do that.
Two adult cats in reality, once they got on a feeding schedule, will probably not eat more than one large can a day of wet. Wellness is expensive but, in the end, it's all relative.
There are a little less costly varieties in good pet food stores. Do a little investigation. I'm sure you will find them.
