I'm with you in my preference for the 19" rim, but disagree in your "fashion statement" characterization of the 20s. The 20s are probably more utilitarian with their lighter weight and forged construction, and perhaps allow the brakes to run a little cooler than the 19s. I just like the look of the 10 double spokes, and do prefer the 40 and 35 ratio sidewall on the tires. We are certainly in the minority on this forum!
