Long answer:
Studded tires interest me as well (though, not allowed here - southern Ontario).
You've run studless winter tires for years, as have I. I have the luxury of installing my winter tire package in a warm garage the moment the weather or my spouse-ometer mandates that I should.
Which means that I could have any winter tire on my car for virtually no longer than it absolutely has to be. This mitigates the cons of running a studded tire (noise, etcetera) during marginal/season transition conditions.
If studded tires save you even once, they're worth it. Just remember, you'll be able to out brake virtually everyone behind you, but the fact that you use winter tires and are thinking of studded elevates you well above the 'masses are asses', so you are undoubtedly already driving for those around you.
Short answer:
If I could, I would.
