The pro is that It's faster. The con is that its expensive.

I hope that helps.

It also throws off the 50/50 weight distribution. Much heavier than a 13b.

Your first resource should be the other 157 threads on this site with '20b' in their title.

Then come back and let us know what you've decided.
