It seems like the consensus around here is switch to winters so you can get the best of both worlds - tires that are designed to be their best in the seasons in which you use them. Personally, I'd never put all-seasons on an M2, it just seems like a waste.
You're exactly right that we don't need hardcore snows here, so I have exactly what you suggest - Pilot Alpins on Apex EC-7s for Thanksgiving-ish until it's consistently above 40 in the mornings. They're still just fine in dry, colder temps, and I have confidence knowing if I do get caught out in the snow or even just cold rain, I have the right tires for the job.
The only thing I'd change is that I'd go with a wider square setup (I got 18x9s all around) so that the wheels could be useful as a track setup if I ever decided I didn't need a winter set. It's not like I need to worry about the narrower tires for tracking through deep snow or anything. That's what I have a 4runner for.
