The A20 and A22 wake from 2010-2014 is VERY similar. A20 wake is a little wider, but very similar shape. The A20 wake is VERY big for a 20 foot boat. I've surprised a lot of people that thought they were coming out on a 20 footer and getting a small wake. Simply not the case.
The plug n play makes ALL the difference. You need to add bags to the plug n play on A20 and A22, and I would argue even on the VLX you still need plug n play.
I'd recommend with the Axis that you look for a 2013 model if you want to save some cash. They will have the best quality interior, updated swim platform and in general many small enhancements that were made over the years that improved the quality of the boat. 2014 Axis boats will have surfgate. That may drive the price up a bit, but you'll get better resale value too. 2012 and older Axis are great boats too, but some people complain about the vinyl quality, and the surf wave won't be as good due to swim platform shape.
IMO, you can spend in the low 40s and get a GREAT boat with either the A20 or A22. Heck, I was reading on another forum that someone found a 2011 A20 in the high-30s...tough to beat that.
