I have just bought an NX1000 with 20-50mm and 30mm f2 pancake. I am trying to decide between upgrading the body to the NX300 or adding the NX20 alongside the NX1000, for the added versatility.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated as to which would be the better idea

I have the NX20 & 300; before that the NX20 was with the NX200. In both cases I used the NX20 less than the other. Mostly because of the size -- I use the pancakes a vast majority of the time. Most of my photography is outside; but enjoy the better results of the NX300 over both the other cameras. I thought the results of the NX20 were more pleasing than the NX200, though.

When I do use the NX20, quite often it is in conjunction with the 2nd camera. The NX20 may have the 60mm, 45mm or zoom on it; while the NX200/300 would have a wide angle pancake. With the NX20 on a sling and the smaller NX on a camera strap or in a jacket pocket, it has become a comfortable combo. For nature hiking the smaller camera is quite often on a monopod/walking stick. I could see doing these same combo's with the NX1000+NX20.

Good luck with your decision and have fun.
