Nokian vs Bridgestones.......again......

Let the great debate (and the opinions) rage....
I'm looking again for snow tires for my '93 9000 CDE (136K)...(it is that time of year) and I have myself settled on Bridgestone MZ-02's and Nokian Haakpelitas Q's----
I swithed to MZ-02's a few years ago after discovering that WS-50's while GREAT in snow were less than great on icy covered roads.
Happy with the MZ-02's when they are new...problem is they are only 55% of their special winter compound....then they are basically your all season tire from there. My experience has been that after 10-15K miles (for me, that's by early April) they are shot as a decent winter tire (except winter often stretches to April (late) or May here in the ROckies).
Was REALLY thinking of switching to Nokian Q's and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on their overall wear and performance on other than snow....(like ice?)
Any feedback/other suggestions/anecdotes appreciated!
Thanks!
Mike
