tbh, the choice between the 18,9 and 20,1 should be this:
Firepower or range. 20,1 having a comparable hitting power is just stupid. Every 20,1 shell would need to hit 1,5 times has hard as an already powerful 18.9 shell. A 40k salvo, altough with a boosted spread would be sufficient. Also, lower the max angle to 40, to decrease the hang time, and boost the range slightly, to L2 and H44 level.
That way, you still have your AA to beat L2, and a knot over it and the H44, and range to fight off the monty firepower.
In exchange, monty and L2 will try to count on their better firepower to best you, and H44 on its lower angle. That would be in my mind a good balance for those guns. Regular gunned SY also have speed and firepower to fight you off.
USN is a good example of it, altough I believe the range should be brought to match the L2s, but its not that much of a difference so. But otherwise, most lvl 110 gun are largely unused for an issue or another. (KM shell damage consistency, UK weight, IJN lack of firepower and weight, USN the 12x16" oneshot salvo is just too fun. Only decent 110 guns)
