I don't need to bother with focus point-changing on the 17, as there's no problem to solve in that respect, whereas with the 20, I would need to take such measures.

I haven't systematically tested the two lenses, and I don't plan to; the difference is obvious in my experience, and I doubt that I would suddenly, for no reason, always be focusing on brighter, contrastier objects when I switched to the 17 from the 20.

OK. Your choice of course. As I said, I have tested it (in comparison with other fast lenses like the 12 and the 45). You didn't.

The ability to lock is up to the camera. The lens has no say about that except as far as light delivery and MTF delivery is concerned. And in those departments, the 20 certainly has no shortcomings relative to the 17.
