I have a rental for the week as I have some work being done on my summer car (which started on Monday, so yes, the timing of this snowfall is entirely my fault). The rental shop only had one car with winters, and they're the above cheapies. So far I've driven downtown and home twice, and they've been quite good, but I haven't had a full opportunity to try them and compare to the Blizzaks I put on my Audi last month.

If I have an hour to spare this weekend I might just mess around with both cars in a parking lot and see how it goes... if you can get serviceable winters brand new for ~$120 per corner, not doing so makes even less sense.
Even the cheap ones these days are fine - they're usually just copies of older models from Michelin/Bridgestone etc.

I had Hankook iPikes for years, they were fine except they were very loud and had almost no cornering capability. But they worked fine on snow and ice and didn't suck in rain.
