For me the up- and downvote icons are too close together and I always have to pinch zoom to upvote (I don't downvote often). So prefer a bit more spacing between them.
Personally I prefer the existing style. The larger text looks imbalanced, and I think there are ways to make collapsing threads easier without the eyesore, like changing "[-]" to "collapse thread" or adding a reddit-style bar to the left of the text. Commenting in case others agree, so the HN team doesn't assume everyone agrees with the proposed change.
Don't use points, use em or rem. Otherwise it won't render well for people with unusual screen formats.
12pt equals 16px, 20pt equals 26.667px. The unitless line-height would be 1.6667. Regardless of how it's written, that's a pretty big value for regular-sized text (compared to larger text for something like a heading). I guess that's helpful in narrow views of nested comments, where the close button might wrap to a new line, below another clickable element.
.comhead {
font-size: 1rem;
line-height: 1.667

Font size is buried three levels deep under Settings > Accessibility > Font Size
