<font color=blue>I think the big bucket will prove more usefull through out the year then the front mounted blade and the quick mount system will definitely lead me to use more attachments</font color=blue>
I agree that the bucket is the most useful implement that you can own. However, re-read the last part of your statement:

Save up for a front mount, power angle snow plow too /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif They make quicker work of the snow than a bucket(in my opinion). And, since you will have a quick attach system, you can easily change to the bucket to work on any place that you have to relocate, rather than just push back, snowpiles.
That's the beauty of the quick attach systems. You are not limited by the time and effort that it takes to switch implements.
You could use the plow to quickly push back the majority of snow, switch to the loader to relocate the pile by your mailbox, then switch to the forks to move some firewood. When you're done, put the plow back on for the next snowfall.
When I go to a job site(wether it be my back yard, the little league park, or my rural property) I frequently take two buckets, the forks and a mower. You can get so much more work done in the same amount of time with a good quick attach system, that it is amazing. You will not be disappointed.
