I'm fine with a minimum length but adding some random characters to my password will only make it harder to remember my 20 character long passwords.

That's if you're allowed to use that many characters.

A disturbing number of sites (even banks) put limits on the size of a password which tend ot make me think they're storing it somewhere plaintext...

I'd go so far as to say "especially banks".

Banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, and other places like that are the only time I usually run into the "4-6 characters, no symbols" type restrictions.
