Yup, but you may be wasting your time...

And the interviewers. 20% is a big difference and it sounds like you would need at least 10% more than what you are currently making for it to be worth it unless other conditions add value. I'd reply with the second so they know the aren't going to get you on board for what they are offering.

Why would wasting time be a bad thing? I think everyone should interview once a year to keep fresh. I don't think it would be a waste of time and if they ended up making an offer to the OP then he could explain why he needed more money. Like he said, the cost of living is 5% higher so that could be one of his arguments to get more money along with his experience in the position and what he can immediately bring to the company.

OP, I say go for the interview. The worst thing that could happen is they don't give you the money you'd like and you walk away.
