The Giros are titled by what size the front wheel is. Giro 20 = 20" front wheel. Giro 26 = 26" front wheel. Both have 26" rear wheels.
 
You don't get as much recline on a Giro 20, but you never know what will work for a particular individual until he tries it. Your Vision may work for your friend.

I am going to take a picture of the 20 before I switch the seats back around. I am riding the 20 with a euromesh and no pins in the rear stays fully reclined. It made the difference on me liking the eurommesh or not. It lowers your but position and allows for more cockpit room. It was just enough to distribute the weight on my back and not on my but. With the pins in on the first notch it was a little to much on the butt to see the benifits of a euromesh. I will bet a Gyro 20 with a 24 on the back and a euromesh would be real close to a Corsa. You could also shorten the stays and get even more reclined.
