The 20 amp receptacles really are built better than the 15 amp versions as a rule. This is true for the inexpensive versions - compare a hardware store 15 amp vs a 20 amp one. When I was doing wiring, the 15 amp ones would explode apart in my hand when I tightened up the screws on the wire. Then try comparing a hubbel 20 amp receptacle against the POS 15 amp ones from the bargain bin. Hard to tell that they're designed to do the same thing even.
