I still use my 20Da for astro imaging (great camera) and I've given my 20D to my daughter.
The cameras are identical except I believe the 20Da uses a "translucent" type mirror rather than a normal mirror to achieve live view.
This live view is slightly different to the "liveview" featured on the current models.
So perhaps even if you do a 20Da firmware 'upgrade', you still may not be able to achieve live view.
I could be wrong though, but that's what I seem to remember regarding the major difference of the 20Da.
