Ever tried a 15mm ?  I find it's perspective quite natural, approximating what one
can see when moving only the eyes from one side to the other. Far more useable
than a 20, IMHO.

I find that from a composition perspective, it forces you to really think the picture 
through.

Your milleage will definitely varie with these lenses.
