NHMTG are Colt OEM mags and are thus good to go.

Not sure why 20s are more expensive.

NHMTG and Colt mags are the same. Colt mags are made by NHMTG. They are GTG.

The 20's are not in high demand as much as the 30's are. They don't make as many so they charge more to cover their cost to manufacture them. Generally the more mass produced something is, the less it cost per unit to manufacture. So in turn the manufacturer can charge less for the 30's because they make more of them. Its all about profit margins. NHMTG 20's are probably the best 20 round mags on the market.

ETA: TaylorWSO summed it up pretty much.
