More options, but you also don't have that extra T shape in the outlet that some people don't care for.What would be the benefit of using a 15 amp recepticle?

I didn't know this. In my workshop, I ran two 20 amp lines to my work bench area and a third dedicated line for my air compressor. There are 3 outlets on each of the workbench lines and I used the T shaped 20 amp outlets on every one of those outlets. I had no idea that I did that wrong.It's kind of weird and contrary to what you'd think. In reality, you're only supposed to use a 20A receptacle (has a sideways T shape slot on the neutral) on a dedicated 20A circuit where it's the *only* receptacle.
I'm currently doing my OSHA 30 hour certification; 15 hours are mind numbing drivel that is redundant X ad nauseam ... I finished the on line course in 28 hours, BUT... can't take the test till I reach 30 hours of seat time. Yep... have to go back and listen to the same thing for another two hours... Don't look for common sense in the world of Gubberment.I am just going to call the inspectors and ask them what they would like to see. The simplest things are not simple.
