Isn't this a bit contrary to the spirit of the whole extended contest / simple contest mechanism? Aren't the two supposed to end up with roughly the same result (on the average)?
I'd say the ^20 should at least translate to a +10 in skill in a simple context, though it hardly means the same thing. Fighting somebody with a defensive edge ^20 is nasty. Facing a whole fyrd with such armor is daunting!
