Personally I prefer the spurred butt plate. It is from a time when frivolous cost-cutting procedures weren't as important.
You're very handy with hand tools and woodworking obviously and if you would like your gun just a little bit better with a spurred butt plate I say go ahead and make it like you want it.
But first take the butt plate off of your 20 to see what you need to do to the wood.
