Yeah, back blades aren't awesome for snow by any means, but for less than 12" they are much faster than using the FEL by itself. I used to use the back blade on the 8ns we have, and the FEL is a perfect compliment. Many times you can effectively back into a position that will let you make use of the bucket and the blade in one go. And, they are very cheap used. Buy one, try it out and sell it for 20% more than you paid for it if you don't like it.
