That's what I've been thinking too. I am tempted by the snow blower for the AWD rider, but without chains, I just don't know if a 16.5% slope will be too much when trying to throw snow while going uphill. The track-drive standalone snow blower is probably the best guaranteed traction of the choices on the table.
In comparing the 1827EXLT vs 1830EXLT, the 1830 has 3 more inches of width, but also the 1830 has a 12" diameter auger, and the 1827 has a 4.7" diameter auger. Here is the direct comparison:

the larger auger will enable you to move deeper snow faster. btw, the AWD rider is not meant for snow(no weights or chains). now if you had a tractor with a hard cab, wheel weights, and chains, that would be worth getting the snow blower for. you'd stay warm and dry too.
