SNOWS -- Pirelli Scorpions v Continental Winter Contact

So, enjoying my new 9-7 -- and need to hustle on getting snows.
My Saab dealer has Pirelli Scorpions (18", using stock rim) for $160/piece, plus mounting, etc.
The large online tire place has a set of 17" alloy rims, with Continental Winter Contact snows, and tire pressure sensors for about $1300. Large vehicle -- large tires, I guess.
Given the cost of the sensors (and the wheels), I'm thinking about not getting a new set of rims -- and picking the the dealer tires.
Any feedback on these brands/models of tire? If I get the 18" (stock size) -- how will these be in the snow (255 55-18) vs 17's (255 60-17)?
Thanks,
Pete
