Not worth doing in my opinion but it is just opinion. Depends which is your priority.

A more important choice is studless rubber or performance winters.
What he said.
I guess the stock wheels and tires are just much more confidence-inspiring so it takes some adjustment.

I'm sure once we see some serious ice or snow, I'll appreciate it better - but for now, everytime I take a turn even a little bit faster, I'm reminded that these tires are nothing like the stockers.
Not a fan of the subpar wet/dry performance - which is why I'm considering going back to 17s next season if I find the 16s are overkill this winter.
