2 separate pages with the same content is penalised by Google. They are quite clear about that. I will switch on HTTPS tomorrow if Google make it so that a protocol change does not affect search indexing. My business depends on this. Do a Google search and see all the people whose websites have been demolished by dropping out of the Google rankings after implementing HTTPS. Absurd!

There are a few well documented methods to counter that penalty: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en. The easiest method is probably to configure your webserver to start sending 'rel=canonical' in a Link HTTP header, but it can also be done with a meta-tag.
