I'll be doing the same thing with my new X5.
I have the 20" Pirelli Scorpion Ice/Snow for winter too (on another set of wheels). We had such a mild winter last year that I never got to really try to them out so I can't speak to how they compare to the 18" winter tires that I had for a few winters before that...

My dealership switches my wheels for about $60 --- which I think is a bargain. Free would be better but I'm not complaining.
