I don't know that anyone here has actually checked a T-20 but the T-32 
has been checked out by several folks here.  The T-32's trigger voltage 
is approx. 12 volts and is known to work well on E-1 and E-500.  I 
assume other E things as well but don't know if that has been verified. 
  If the T-20's trigger voltage isn't subtantially higher than 12 volts 
I wouldn't worry about it.
