Yeah give your phone a 20% battery handicap out of the box because of your battery degredation paranoia. Dumbest shit ever.

I very rarely need a full charge when I get a new phone. Battery rarely drops under 50% unless it's a heavy use day. However, that same phone 3 years later will be causing me issues because the battery doesn't last through the day.

I would happily trade off 20% max battery in the first few years, to get a healthier battery 4 years down the line.
