I've got some 20% Tween 20 and I thought I'd give it a try to see if it makes any difference. How many drops should I use for an 8x10 print? Three? Four?

Don, wouldn't it be easier to just dilute the Tween say with 1 drop to 1 drop (and more if needed) of distilled water?
Another thing I found out was that Tween needs to be mixed into the sensitizer thoroughly before coating the paper.
When using tween be sure to notice if it starts to grow anything - which it will sooner or later. Think the last bottle lasted me about 4-5 years before it became some strange blob.
The Tween I've got doesn't seem to stay separated. A quick swirl in the shot glass coupled with magic brush does the trick
you'll notice two effects -- first, it will coat a lot faster. You'll brush a lot less. This is especially true with Platine. Second, after development, you'll see more even tones.
