Sure, in the sense that there is a perfect woman, too. Marry a beautiful woman and expect to spend some time balancing
I'm not convinced an MT is the right tire for you, and maybe that's why you can't decide. I say this because you seem focused on the negatives rather than what these tires really do well, and negatives like balancing and road mile wear are irrelevant if you really need the performance. They are just drawbacks that you spend more money on if you don't really need the performance.
So if you are trying to decide on an MT by picking the least amount of poison, you are really an AT user. If you are trying to decide on an MT by focusing on solving a significant problem (that is icy hardpack to blizzard to offroad snow combined with highway friendliness and rock crawling in a single tire for me), then you focus on what tire has what features to meet your needs.
I get back to trxus every time, because no other tire solves that criteria above as well as trxus that I can find, so it's easy for me to make that choice and deal with balancing as needed (twice in 16K miles).
If I took out the snow part, I'd be lying if I said that I'd have any reason to run the tires I run except for looks. It's not like you have to have MT traction for dry Colorado rocks and Moab, after all.
