My impression is years ago the pecking order went C22>C11>C20, largely because of the C20's complexity. But now it seems a great number of C20s have gone over to Japan. I'm supposing because there might be more enthusiasm for very old record media over there and the C20 has a lot of flexibility for record compensation.
When I first starting looking at this stuff, which wasn't that long ago, it seemed the C20 could sell for around half what a 22 would bring, but now they're all about the same (maybe 15% or so higher on 22 prices). You read old threads on here and people are just trashing the 20. It seems people feel different about them these days. I've never heard one, though the late-version with the handsome orange lighting and glass faceplate (rather than plastic in the early ones) always interested me. Has there been some re-evaluation of the 20? What's the contemporary opinion on the 11/22 vs 20 debate?
