Glad you "get it". I tell everyone who wants to belittle the snow performance of the Edge or the Sport in particular with the 22" Pirellis. It all comes down to driver input. If you have common sense and know how to pilot a vehicle in icy snowy conditions, no vehicle will let you down. Some will be more capable than others, and its all about repsecting the capability of what you're driving. Two years, two winters and entering my third and I've never been disappointed.
