I've never understood this argument. Although AWD does not help with turning, it does helps when accelerating (not just from a stand still.) Last time I drove I had to accelerate....a lot. From stoplights, from stop signs, making a right/left hand turn onto a different road and then getting up to speed, changes with the flow in traffic, etc. I also like to have the ability to accelerate quickly when another car that does not have winter tires is sliding through an intersection directly at me.
If you can set off and put your cruise control on for your entire trip and not touch it until you reach your destination, then yes, AWD isn't going to help outside of the initial acceleration. Personally I never have that type of commute.
Back on topic - OP I'm excited to see the pics and video!
