Default Kinda Sorta Cyser? (update and question)

(Original thread can be found here - http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f32/kinda-sorta-cyser-142347/)

Just about 4 weeks into fermentation and my almost-cyser is down to 1.005. It's been in the basement at ~65 degrees F or so. Clearly not clear yet, but has dropped quite a bit of lees. It tastes alcoholy and yeasty, but still has some nice flavor and sweetness to it. I'm not set up to cold crash anything, so I am going to let it finish up on its own and see where it ends up. My question is whether or not I should rack it at this time. Any advice?

I would rack it. That should help the clearing.

That looks like more than an inch of lees, so I'd definitely rack it.
