If you purchase 15 and 20 amp receptacles of the same grade and manufacturer you will find the internal parts are identical.
You can get the same 'good grip' with a 15 if you buy a good one.
Of course there is nothing wrong with using 20s as long as the circuit is a 20.
Installing a 20 on a 15 amp circuit is a violation.
Guess I will have to check this out - again.
Thanks
