If your main concern is performance, stick with the 19's. The 20 inch wheel will obviously have a slightly longer / wider contact patch, but anytime you add unsprung weight you are seriously reducing power. I've heard from lots of people that the best balance between weight and contact is actually an 18 inch wheel. I don't know if that's true, but I personally don't see any benefit in going to 20's (especially given the extra cost).
