If already 75% is completed then you should go for cutover and wait to sync 100%. If you want to go for hybrid then you have to remove the batch from O365 and then remove the accounts from O365 which are syncing. Then setup hybrid.

thanks for the advice. I am actually going to start this over using the Hybrid setup. I just converted a different site a couple of weeks ago and there were about 40 accounts to move. Cut-over was problematic as it appeared that even though it said that they were all synchronized, about 10 users found that they were missing gobs of messages. There were two of us working on this and it took two days to get it finalized. It was just lots of work which I feel could have gone smoother even though we were never in crisis mode.

This next site, I'm doing myself and won't have help and for that reason, that is why I want to switch over to the Hybrid method.

thanks to both for the advise.
