I've been building my own prototype versions of these for a couple of years now. I've tried the 20" and 18" bells and there is a notable difference in character of sound. I have found that I can make the 20" bell version respond more like the 18" by putting a plastic rim protector around the bell. Since this is possible you might consider going for the 56j and slipping the protector on when you want a bit more focus. My next one will have a 19" York bell. That should be interesting. Maybe the best of both worlds? I don't think you can go wrong with either.
