I don't know why you think that +/- 20% are possible.
In an IC design, part of the designers job is to match performance of
circuits that need to be held to certain tolerances. On a give die, the
performance characteristics of the transistors are going to match very
closely. The total capacitive load is harder to balance, but, after all,
that's what they get paid for.
