Selling 20mm and 20-50mm for 12-24mm?

I currently have a NX300 with the 20, 20-50, 30, and 50-200 lenses. I've wanted something wider than the 20mm for a while, and now I'm considering selling my 20 and 20-50 to pay for a NX 12-24 (yes, I'm aware I'd have to pay extra on top of the aforementioned lenses).

I do intend on getting the 45 (likely in 3D as well), so I don't think I'd miss not having the 24-29, 31-44, or 46-49 ranges by not having the 20-50mm. Most of my shots now are taken at 20, 30, or 200.

Thoughts? It would be nice to have fewer lenses, but I'm wondering if there's any major drawbacks I'm missing if I got rid of those two lenses. If anything I feel like I'd want to at least get rid of the 20-50mm.I've heard a lot of good stuff about the 12-24, and it doesn't seem like it'd be less sharp at 20 than the 20mm lens, hence why I'm considering getting rid of the 20mm as well.
