I think that there is no big difference between Nxb6 and Bxh6 in the previous move and Fruit already saw Bxh6 in it's main line as fabien reported(it is not public Fruit2.1 but Fruit WCCC is probably better).

Note that it seems that fruit of WCCC is stronger in tactics than default fruit and I found that default fruit with clean hash needs even more time than default Crafty19.19 to find 20.Bxh6 Uri
