M-Snow is for sure worth it to me. Way less hassle and much faster than turf Soap and water. M snow also feels more like snow as far as control you can turn on it. You can get away pretty cheap by spacing it out and using plastic lattice the white checker board looking stuff like I have. It’s super fast but you can’t turn or control yourself on it but is fine for upper part of drop in and landing area.
Another thing about M-snow I found helpful is to wax your skis about every 50 trips and don’t scrap your wax very much. Put a thick layer of wax on lightly scrap it once and brush any uneven spots but leaving a thick layer will make it really fast and make bases last longer. Also requires less length or steepness to drop in
