With the 20s you will get quicker acceleration but lower top speed. Plus you will get a little more tourque with the 20s. With the 22s you will lose acceleration but gain some top speed. A Bonus is you will get the 2 more inches of ground clearance.

I think it might give a little more than before. But I think it won't be much and I would go with that setup.

Ground clearance is the big problem. With a 20" tire vs. 22" you loose 1" of ground clearance. To me that means alot. You can always adjust the gearing to the tire.
