I use the Rycote INV-7 shockmounts with Schoeps CMC6 mics. I haven't found or even heard of a better shockmount, and it's 70% of the cost of the A20s.

^  I have no experience with Schoeps, or their mounts, but I can second the Rycote INVs.  I am pretty sure mine will last a lifetime and, as Bruce Watson mentioned, they're cheaper too...

There is literally no reason to own the garbage Schoeps mounts, or worse a cheap knockoff of them. Trust the previous posts!

Having used both these cheap knockoffs and the real A20 mounts, I contend that the knockoffs are actually much better made.  You just need to line the 22mm cradles with some felt to hold the 20mm CMC bodies.

But really, take everyone's advice and just get the INVs.  They are the only thing that works for my CM3s, which are very vibration-sensitive.  I did have to get the softer 62-shore lyres since those mics are so lightweight.  You'll want to stick with the stock ones for your Schoeps, but I'm just including this an example of how you can swap different lyres to alter the compliance of your Rycote mounts to fit the mass of your mics.  Much better than trying out different elastic bands and hair ties!

Thanks guys, most appreciated. Only need it to hold my Din-a bar, no bodies. 11.88 beats the crap out of 70 for that junky a20s for sure.   ;D

What I used for this was a pack of self-adhesive felt "buttons" like you'd have on the feet of chairs.  A few stuck inside the cradle and your bar or mic is held snug without chance of it being scratched.
