My understanding Sheppey is that you are correct. If the PAPI remained the same distance from the threshold then you would have to come in on a higher angle to cross the threshold that 20ft higher. I doubt they would change the approach path angles for that 20ft difference rather than moving the PAPI further from the threshold. I'll have to compare next time I go into the 2 different types.
