20 metre snorkel? That would be scary. Haven't seen too many prices on snorkels lately but something thats still in test, I would say at least $20k for 20m.

The only problem I have found with the snorkels over other machines is that some of them use electric over hydraulic and as a result can be a little jerky up in the bucket.

Id look for a fully hydraulic system they are a lot smoother. A little more expensive of course but in my book its a worthwhile expense.

Im going to say the same thing as the other guys make sure its a certified rig from what I have heard they can be a bit of a hassle to re certify.

Cant give you any prices on a second hand machine but the new ones are starting at $120,000.00 for a 12-15m boom.

Good luck with your search.
