20 round magazine size comparison

Im looking into getting some 20 round magazines, and I have narrowed it down to Magpul Pmag20s and Lancer L5 20 rounders. Can anyone post a pic comaring the size of those two compared to a standard Colt aluminum 20 round mag?
I like the PMag20 because of the lip on the bottom, which would make extraction from my mag pouches possible... which I can't do with aluminum mags. Do the lancers have a lip as well?
thanks guys

So no one has any 20 round magazines?

No lip on the lancers. Dont have them side by side, but the lancer may be a hair shorter than the Pmag. The USGI is shorter than both by about 1/4". I hate the lip on the PMAGs which is why Ive been picking up more and more lancers.

lancers are about 1/2 inch longer in 20 round configuration compaired to p mags. GI 20's are 3/4 inch shorter than lancers.
