I live in mountains where snow tire aren't optional. The 2 tire approach works well for me. I'd strongly suggest a second set of rims for your snow tires. Inevitably, there will be a huge line at the tire dealer when you want your tires swapped. Having them mounted means you can easily swap them when it is convenient. I'd suggest cheap, used steel rims for the snow tires, over the life of the car, the cost of the rim will be cheaper than paying to swap them twice a year.
I've never used the tires you mention, but have had great performance from my Nokian Hakka 1's.
