Joe.CIt's not necessarily better, just a different process (more like a photograph than a print). The detail and depth of the 20x30 is definitely better because it's a 1:1 reproduction of the original. You can actually read the newspaper articles! Highly recommended, especially at this price they are offering. They frame out nicely at 24x36 with a matte or right in a 20x30 frame. Cheers.
