I don't have two wheelsets, but I do switch tires as conditions and forecasts dictate. I never found it much trouble switching tires. In the winter I'm cleaning and relubing my bike all the time anyway, so a few extra minutes switching tires is not a big deal.
There's no reason studs have to go "on for the season" unless you live in a place where winter weather comes and stays.
