When I ordered my upper from Midway, the 16" length was all they had available, so I went with it. I was raised, and lived most of my life, believing that a long barreled bolt gun was the only arm suitable for hunting. But, when I wanted a larger caliber, and didn't want to get into the Dangerous Game category, I swung over to the Little Black Gun side. Given the choice, and my history, I would have chosen the 20" if available, and figured I could always change the barrel if I hated it. But, I must say I was and continue to be impressed with the accuracy of the 450 B in carbine length. I really don't think I could wring any more accuracy out of the 20" barrel than I do with the 16" - although I am sure some can and do. And, I've found some additional advantages to the shorter barrel: its handy in the brush, fits in a case short enough to fit behind the front seats of my Jeep, and is a lot easier than my magnum bolt guns to take in and out of the Jeep when hunting. I think I'll keep it.
