It is not about 25 vs 20mm those are just two numbers. It is dynamics of image captured. Just try both side by side and compare - not for sharpness they are both plenty sharp. But dynamics of the shot expressed by different lens perspective different size of close objects vs the rest ability to capture more of the street atmosphere without too much distortion - all of these are much more important. 20mm IMO is much better for this. 25 mm is flattening the space visibly more. 15mm/17mm is even better however you have to step even more close and being too close to subject might be sometimes problem.
