Very hot summer / very cold winter. I live near Nashville, TN.
January temperatures are about 47 F / 27 F (8 C / -3 C).
July temperatures are about 90 F / 70 F (32 C / 21 C).
15 F off of winter would make a great winter with 32 F / 12 F (0 C / -11 C) with plenty of snow.
Summer would be bad with 105 F / 85 F (41 C / 29 C)... but I'll take that for a good winter.
Go big or go home. I'd rather have 100+ F days than 90s F days and humid... if I'm going to be miserable, at least make it temperatures worth bragging about
I would try a warm winter/cool summer to see how I like it (or don't).
If I found the cooler summers (low-mid 70s F/low 20s C high) to be worth the warmer winters (mid 30s-mid 40s F/3-8C highs) then I would potentially move to the West Coast or something.
I'm a CWF. I love cold gloomy winters, but I will take a warmer winter in a heartbeat to avoid putting up with a hot summer. I like moderately cool climates (oceanic) anyway, so it wouldn't be a huge sacrifice. I would just miss the "true" cold and snow.
I'd take the hot summer in exchange for a cold winter. Although I despise heat, for me summer is an interlude between winters, and if there's no big winter to look forward to then a cool summer isn't much of a consolation. I'd even take Death Valley-like summers if there was subzero weather and 300 inches of snow all winter, assuming that I didn't have a cold winter/cool summer choice.

Would you take the summer in my fictional climate of Loco or a humid, steamy wet season in my fictional climate of Bakensteam in exchange for subzero winters with lots of snow though?
I would leave it as it is, for both London and Brisbane.
Current averages
Jan: 8C
Jul: 24C
Not summer or winter temps by mid latitude standards.

Lets say a 5C increment for the lowest effect, we get the following:
Jan: 3C - far too cold
Jul: 29C - good
Barely good in July, or at least decent. January too warm for consistent snow events....
Quote:
Jan: 13C - good
Jul: 19C - terrible
Jan: horrible, more like early spring or late autumn....
July: catastrophic, but would be a normal minimum temp
Me:
Jan: -4C is a good solidly cold max temp, but not so cold that it would inhibit large snow events.
July: 32C is a good baseline for hot weather, as long as it is accompanied with 21C+ dew points.
Not summer or winter temps by mid latitude standards.
Not by your standards, but London is mid-latitude and has those averages.
