How deep does the snow get before you switch from blade to blower?

My options; 1872, 54" power angle blade or 54" RAD 2 stage blower and 12V chute director. In either case no tractor cab.

It requires switching out the undercarriage to go from blade to blower. The switch will be done outside as I only have room for a tight parking spot in the shop at this time. This will change by next Winter. If I was 36 I'd not be so concerned about an extra changeover but I'm twice that and trying to avoid wasted motion/work.

What say you? I'm inclined toward any snow less than 6" being a job for the blade and not enough to feed a blower. Over 12" of the white stuff, I definitely want the blower to attack it. Hum, 7" to 11" I guess I wait for the Sun to melt it down to 6" or hope for more snow, lol.
