Nokian snow tires are probably as good as they come. I know quite a few car geeks that love them. They don't sell much online, so they're hard to price.
Personally I love running dedicated winter tires. Other than a second set of wheels, they don't really cost you much extra since they will increase the life of your other tires.
Just looking at the tread pattern of the eNTYRE, I'd dread driving those in snow. It's too closed for the wet snow I drive in.
For dedicated snow tires, the dunlop winter sport 3d's are awesome. Michelin also has some nice ones. A little less expensive are the dunlop graspics which will probably be fine for you given the subie's sloppy suspension. They're what I currently run. They were $25/tire less than the winter sports.
Is Mass. snow wet or dry?
