20 isn't that many. You might spend more time figuring this out than just installing.

Actually, setting up an automated install isn't that bad. I did it a couple of years ago for about 15 servers. There is an article in BOL that tells how to do it: Performing an Unattended Install. Basically you use the installation wizard to create the ISS file. Then run the command setupsql.exe with a parameter pointing to your file. You can also automate the service pack installation.

Basically it means that you install 1 server with the cd. Somewhere in the install you'll have an option to save the install to a script. Once the install is complete, you can use that script to install all 19 other instanses.

I know some people that manage 200+ servers, for them 20 is small-ish

I am also assuming that you are installing SP3 in an automated fashion as well.
