I agree on all accounts that you don't "need" 4wd and that fwd with snow tires is good enough for a good driver, etc.
But I'll also say as a MN resident that AWD / 4WD is damned nice to have. It won't keep you out of a ditch, it won't help you slow down, no of course not. But it'll get you out of a slippery intersection, get you up that small hill, and do lots of things that are still entirely useful.
As for which to get, I'd simply drive them both and get the one that speaks to you the most.
