I have owned the N2020, 8008, 8008S, and the F5. My comments are
these:
The n2020 is a good camera, but the autofocus is far behind the
8008. If you are buying a used camera for a backup or second
backup, as you indicate, I would recommend that you go with a
used 8008 or 8008S before the 2020. Not only will the 8008 have
a far better autofocus, but it also has a far more advanced
exposure system. 8008s can be found at good prices used. My
$.02. RJB.

I have an opportunity to buy an N2020 body at a good price. I'd
like
to hear your comments about it, if you own (or have owned) one.
I realize that the autofocus is relatively primitive, but how
does it
compare (say) to the next generation of Nikons, like the F-601 or
F-801? Is it as accurate? Is it functionally fast enough?
