I might not be the best person to reply, but since no one has yet, I figured share my opinion.
I used to own a pair of BL3. I've never owned a pair of BL18, but have heard them in a store. I currently own a pair of BL20 & BL9.
I can tell you that I loved the BL3, even more so with the addition of a BL2. Folks on here say the BL18 are wonderful, but more oomph and a rounder sound is accomplished with a BL19. Both may require a sub for some tastes.
I sold the BL3/2 and years later acquired a pair of BL9: In a different league entirely, and BL20 are similar to the BL9 but different.
Compared to the BL3, the BL20 are a completely different animal. Not just on paper but their sound. Words really can't describe the upgrade. I'd suggest you go to a store and pick out your favorite tracks and listen to it on BL3, 3/2 combo, 18, and 18/19 combo, then 20. Keep us posted. Everyone's sonic tastes are different.

As Duels points out, all are so different in design and surely, it's more of which one appeals the most in design to you.
