If the Angel StreetDecks were freed up, they'd want to be targeting routes where a B9TL is really overkill (barring the 58 & 93/94 as those are only local routes using older deckers and likewise for the 27). The 56 or 309/310/311 fit that bill perfectly as GNE did try and apply GKN modifications to the B9TLs back in 2014/15 although trials on 6085 & 6104 didn't go to plan.
Likewise, cascaded B9TLs would be a good fit for the 20 if it turned out to warrant deckers given the intensity and high utilisation of the service.
If the Angel got new vehicles, the cascades could go.........
