The 20H has an identical power section to the 22 and I'm running both from the FX send of the 22, effectively giving me two identical amps.
It works night after night, literally just a line check then go.
I have other amps to give me different flavours, but when you find your perfect gigging amp it's wise to stick with it. I dabbled with other amps at the end of last year and it was a big waste of time and money.
Oddly one sounded better than the other, even with the same cabs, tubes etc. one just sounded better! I eventually sold the back up, since I'm not really giging at the moment.
I also have a Harley-Benton GA5 which I have enjoyed since the day I got it, plus an Epiphone Valve Junior which I bought from @TTony. I believe they are the same product but the GA5 has a tone control which the VJ doesn't.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
This is my go-to pub gig classic rock setup, 2 X Blackstar HT5'2 but only for redundancy as one mic'ed up is generally fine
There was a small amount of method in the madness - the amp can be run with either 6L6s or EL34s, and the EL34s suit the 'vintage' modes better whereas the 6L6s suit the 'modern' modes better. So by having two I could choose which I used based on which modes I wanted, and if I'd used them both live I could have had four channels, all optimised for those sounds.
It was also interesting to see how *little* difference the power valve type makes when the amp is set for a 'neutral' sound too - the differences only really became obvious when deliberately setting them more in a 'Marshall' or a 'Fender' direction.
The combined weight of the two was 196lb, by the way! I don't own either of them now .

A bit crazy really as they can all sound very close to each other and whichever one I play i'm dialling in the same plexi type tone anyway.
