If I match two subclades, which is correct and why?

23andMe placed me into R1b-L20. I just put my data into the Morley DNA tool and while L20 is still one of the top bets, another option would be S47, which is also downstream from U152 but on a different branch than L20. 23andMe didn't test for Z56 which is upstream from S47, so I don't have any way of known if I'm positive for that as well, but otherwise I match both cleanly. It's certainly no reason to discount S47 because I don't have a result for P312, either.

Any way, what's the deciding factor here in determining haplogroups?
 
Post a screenshot or snipping tool snip of your Morley results

I apparently don't have enough posts to add images?

But if you remove the spaces from that, you should be able to see the two snippets.

L20 looks correct due to the positive steps above it leading directly down the tree to it. The other positive is interesting but perhaps coincidental or a misunderstanding of the U152 tree. The Morley tool uses an older version of the ISOGG tree.
