The AV-20 design offers AV's to those who normally can't afford them.  Replacing the small ducted vents with one large ducted fan makes the AV-20 is a cheap alternative to the classic design of AV.  It also makes for a relatively safer vehicle, however, because of the large area the ducted fan requires it also means the AV takes needs a large amount of space, making it hard to park at many AV-pads.
