Why don't you use the cheaper 15A outlets? I seriously doubt you need
many 20A GFCI's.

Just to make it clear, all GFCIs are rated at 20A, though some have
contacts that are rated at 15A. IOW, they're just like a 15A outlet.
They work fine in a 20A circuit (i.e. they will "pass thru" 20A).

BTW, the $.59 stuff should be avoided like the plague.
