>> once they are ITM, they should track dollar for dollar with a $10 approximate differance.

The only case in which an option will track the stock dollar for dollar is if the strike price is zero (which makes it a stock, not a derivative). As a rule of thumb, an at-the-money option moves up .50 for every dollar in the underlying.

Yet, there's ~$8 in premium for the $20s and ~$3 for the $10s (albeit the investment in the $10s is much greater).
