Will this become either of your primary vehicles or mostly a snow warrior?
If it's a daily driver I'd probably stay with an AWD car. If it's a 2nd vehicle then the extra clearance of a real 4x4 can make a big difference when conditions are bad. They just aren't quite as friendly the rest of the time.
Jeep Cherokees aren't modern but they are about a dollar.
