I'm a fan of summer/winter tires, can't comment about Subaru tires, but I have had experience with SAAB's and tires. One winter I thought I'd skip on getting snows, but during an early snowfall, my '87 SAAB 900s wanted to slide it's rear in corners. That was a bit scary, especially in the sort-of-plowed city. I promptly bought snows and never had that feeling again.
In reality, the expense is when you first get snows and extra rims. Seasonally swapping them would be no more expensive than using only all-seasons. Your summer tires will last much longer, as they aren't being used that much.
