Both 5-15P and 5-20P work fine in 5-20R
Why do you need 5-20P?
Exactly. Lug weight in both versions are identical and have the ability to carry the same load, the only difference being the 20 amp has one pin turned 90 degrees to prevent it from being plugged into a 15 amp circuit. Electrically the 20 amp version offers no advantage over the 15 amp.
It is all about the 12 gauge vs the 14 gauge wires. Got to have the 12 for using the 20.
