You're right - both. And also right about the weight of the 20J. I haul mine (the 20J)on a handtruck that lays flat, with the bell case and anything else I need, sitting on top of the flat body case. The standing joke, as I am packing up to leave after rehearsal, is that I am always asked when I am going to switch to piccolo.
But, even with all the work of transport, and I am not supposed to lift 50lbs, I have never found anything else that works as well for me. It is just a much easier horn to play than my small horns. And the big round tone is what I prefer. So as I said, I surely agree with your wife's taste!
