NX20 is slow to operate. Take 3 pictures, wait 9 seconds. Take 2 pictures, don't change any setting or wait. Waiting costs frames and the moment goes away.

EVF in NX20 i quite good, NX30 offers more contrast, better refresh rate and 2x resolution (but res in NX20 is good for me).

Apart from the speed NX30 has much better light metering. I very raraly use exposure compensation with NX30. It avoids blowing highlights, something that NX20 does regulary (I have -1/3 correction all the time on NX20 which is a problem when using manual mode with auto ISO).

Also AF is better on NX30, much less hunting.

Operational speed, light metering and AF. I'd say these are pretty important factors. IQ? Not really, better jpg, only minor improvement in RAW - less color noise.
