I know you killed off your post, but I wanted to comment on the above part of it.
"worse for 11 months" implies that you're operating near the limits of whatever tyres are fitted. Maybe in your case you are, but my argument that it's OK to use winter's year round (as my wife's Honda Jazz does) is that 99.99% of the time we're operating well within the car's & ANY tyre's capabilities. I figured that the 0.01% of time when we're not is a lot less than a month (although the winter tyre "window" is usually a lot longer than a month).
I kind of chickened out of the argument on my Merc by fitting All Season's, but that car is pretty well only used for occasional long motorway trips.
