This is important if you live in cold climate as cold weather = more viscous oil =harder for car to crank, turn over, then run with improper lube as target oil viscosity has been reached. The second number is the oil's viscosity once warmed up which usually lies within engine operating temps of 190-220. So both these oils will act the same once heated to operating temps.

The only thing I worry about the 0w20 is the heat down here in the summer time. 20 seems a little thin to me.
