Don't know if you attend RTMC but the record size there is a 48" scope a few
years ago.  There's usually a 36" or larger scope there almost every year
and 30" glass is starting to become common.  20" scopes usually are no
longer well attended as they were years ago as there are so many larger
scopes showing the sky.
As a result of the sizes available, a 20"-24" scope is usually available for
searching the faint fuzzies and other neat stuff while the big scopes show
the usual M13 and so forth.  FWIW, I got about an hour on a 20" binocular
one year and had a ball.  I spent it looking at the fainter galaxies around
by M81/82.
