Well worth it though since taking the front hitch off even if it's only twice a year is a task I don't really want. As for using the loader with the front hitch on there is no problem. You just pull some pins to quickly remove the A frame leaving the rest on the tractor and install the loader. It's recommended to take the A frame off when not in use anyway and it only takes a minute. I'm still going to buy a rear blade for driveway maintenance work. As for removing the MMM on a concrete pad it is quite easy, not sure I'd want to try it on the grass as it is quite heavy. I expect I will use the loader and a sling to lift it up to do maintenance on the blades. The new drive on MMM that is coming out I'm sure will be much nicer and I expect a much bigger price tag with it.

Forgot to mention, yes you do have to remove the MMM brackets to mount the front hitch. There are slots for the MMM in the new front hitch brackets to replace them but they are in a different location plus the front PTO bracket is in the way which is why you need the special MMM mount.
